One of my friends has a sister who took an ASL class. He told me when I was talking to his girlfriend that he has the textbook and just this morning I received it from him. I was so happy!! I thought it was going to be one of those huge textbooks with a hard cover and so many words I'd be too intimidated to even read 5 pages. Thankfully this one is actually small and manageable. I'm reading the first couple pages and I'm liking it already. It's telling me about the difference between Deaf people and deaf people. Basically, Deaf ones are the ones who are in the ASL community while deaf ones are the ones who do not or have not been introduced to ASL just yet.
Also, there are exercises and pictures with words and such and it's a huge help. I plan to read a bit everyday. Hopefully with the class and this book, and with the help of my mentor, I will succeed in learning American Sign Language.
