Does anyone know ASL (American Sign Language)? I've been wanting to pick that up, as well as some Spanish, because I come across those a lot in the school system. The only languages I speak now are English and French.

I know BSL (Brooklyn Sign Language.) Its easy to learn because it only involves the use of the middle finger.

English and "Franish" - a terrible mixture of French and Spanish, which thoroughly confuses the little Hispanic children I work with.

You can teach yourself somewhat, with a good book AND a video - but I'd recommend taking some sort of class, or find a tutor. Although ASL is somewhat based on English, the grammar is quite different, and can be confusing.
I've learned a blend of ASL/SEE (Signed Exact English) sign language from my wife - "true" ASL as taught in school isn't necessarily what "deaf" people use to communicate - there are blends of the different sign languages available.
