Where do you find a sign language instructor? First, if you know a deaf person or someone who knows how to sign, ask them for a referral. If that doesn't work out, check with a local high school guidance counselor. They may be able to direct you to either a free or for-pay program. You can also check into a local social services organization, as many offer sign language classes for free.

Tips
When you are first learning to sign the letters, a good Bible text to practice with is Philippians 4:8, as it repeats the phrase "whatever is" several times. Since it is so repetitive, You should be able to quickly sign the "whatever is" portion to get your speed up. This verse contains all the letters of the alphabet except j, q, and z which can be learned afterwards. Learning a text such as this will also force you to learn each letter on its own (as opposed to always signing K after J). Once a text such as this one has been learned you may be surprised that you can finger spell just about anything.
