I just added some new people to my friend list and to be honest, it's very unusual for me to have this many LJ friends in many years. However,  I like reading/lurking other people's journals - not just for entertainment but to learn some new things and most of the people on my friend list is cool.

It seem that there is a trend when adding new

Just out of curiosity, where would you suggest I look for inexpensive ASL lessons? My friend's sister is Deaf and the two of us have been talking about learning ASL for years now, but we can't really afford much. :\ I think the last suggestion she got was to look into the 519?

(Yay, Toronto people! \o/)

Kudos to you for learning ASL!
The 519 area code? There are a lot of CHS locations in Ontario including Windsor. If you check out the website at www.chs.ca. on the front page and see "Interested in learning ASL", click on the link and find your locations on the right column. however, not all of them provide ASL classes depending on the location.
Peel and Toronto are probably the only ones that is very consistent with ASL classes.
CHS is a non profit organization so all the money from the course go directly to the deaf instructor and cost of materials.

In Toronto, there is also Bob Rumball Centre as well as George Brown College (if you're a student)

Oh, whoops. I meant 519 Church Street (which is known as "the 519"; it's a community centre).

I'll look into them, thanks :D

oh yeah. Actually, there is Rainbow Alliance of the Deaf group

I do know they did offer some ASL classes at 519 Church Street under this organization. I suggest that you email the group (their email on the website) and find out.

One of my co-workers is a member and participant so I will ask him tomorrow!

I studied his work in a Philosophy class in University and have had enough of his pedantic essays.

Not that it's typical of his writing, but his book on Raymond Roussel is well worth a look (assuming you're interested in Roussel).
