American Sign Language Course

I'm interested in taking an ASL course for beginners or near-beginners. It would also be great to back this up with a social group that possibly included deaf people where silent communication could be done!
Any ideas or do you know anyone who might be able to facilitate a class like this?
Thanks,
Sammy

Reeves Nelson (6'7, 220lb)
Reeves Nelson (6'7, 220lb) was the first to verbally commit to UCLA. He averaged 26.0 points and 14.0 rebounds last season at Modesto Christian HS. A great competitor and excellent athlete, Nelson is ranked in the top 30 for forwards in his class. He played football earlier this fall and tore a knee ligament; however, he is expected to recover fully in time for the high school basketball season.“Reeves Nelson is very physical and is a very strong and athletic young man,” MB2-632 exam Howland said. “He’s a tough, hard-nosed player who is a good rebounder and he’s going to be an outstanding player.”Brendan Lane (6'10, 205lb) averaged 20.4 points, 11.7 rebounds and 5.2 blocks in his junior year at Rocklin HS. A highly skilled and very good shooting big man, Lane is also ranked in the top 30 for forwards in 2009.“Brendan Lane is a long and very skilled athlete,” Howland said. “He has an exciting upside because 1Y0-A08 exam as he gets bigger and stronger, his game will really improve.”Tyler Honeycutt is the most heralded recruit from this Bruin class. He is rated the No.1 forward in the West and a top 25 ranked player overall in 2009. Honeycutt averaged 16.0 points and 10.0 rebounds per game last year at Sylmar HS. Honeycutt improved his stock dramatically over the summer with his play on the AAU circuit.“Tyler Honeycutt is a very versatile athlete,” Howland said. “He is a good shooter, he’s good at scoring off the dribble and 646-563 exam is a good passer. He is also an outstanding rebounder and has a lot of potential.”Center Anthony Stover (6'10, 210lb) averaged 10.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 7.4 blocks at Renaissance Academy as a junior. He will play at Windward HS in Los Angeles this year. He is rated a top 20 center nationally.“Anthony Stover is very long and his upside is that he has a 7-foot-5-inch wingspan,” Howland said. “He’s an excellent shot blocker and we are excited about his future.”

ASL conversation practice
Hi Sammy,
You can find groups that practice ASL in social situations at meetup.com (search for Minnesota and ASL). There are many good online resources for learning as well - search for ASL dictionaries, ASL tutorials and perhaps there are videos at YouTube. Usually there are beginning classes offered through community education as well.
Good luck!
