Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I really, really want to teach my kids ASL. Not just with the cutesy, Signing Time videos here and ther, but in a real, systematic way. My sister- in-law is deaf and their three boys all sign. So this is a practical need/want in our educational goals. We don't live near them so our family doesn't get nearly the practice as do the family members who are there ( some of my own siblings have become fluent now)... but we see them 5-6 times a year and it would just be really neat and meaningful to acquire this skill.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a Rosetta Stone like program out there that is kid friendly?

I once took an ASL class at our local community college...
if there is one in your area, maybe you could barter for a free class or to have a student or instructor come to your home and teach everyone?


Also- You Tube might be a great resource for this... sometimes the library has a solid dvd course available (or you could recommend one for them to purchase).

Even if YouTube only got you started, I am sure your SIL and family would love that you are making a real effort

And you could video chat through facebook or something like skype.. having that outlet for using it will help with whatever program you find to use.
