Deaf people communicate in a variety of ways. So first you need to determine which form you need/want to learn. If you want to learn American Sign Language then you should take a class. I suggest taking it from a deaf teacher. They are typically the most skilled and have the best understanding of Deaf culture.

Other forms of communication include PSE, MCE, TC and oralism. I only really have knowledge of ASL so I will leave it at that. ASL is a wonderful language. Enjoy.
