  2. Shell,
    If you had fun with that, you might want to check out the website aslpro.com. When I took an ASL class at Pima, I would use that site to practice.

  3. I found myself helping someone earlier today, who wanted to learn the Afghani languages Pashto and Dari. I had my doubts we would have any books or recorded language learning materials, but I checked out Mango Languages on the library website -- and BOTH languages were available for learning there! I was glad to be able to help her -- and she was overjoyed, saying "This is exactly the kind of resource I hoped you would have!"

    Anyone who wants to learn a few words in another language could do worse than go to that resource, free for any card-holder: http://www.library.pima.gov/research/databases/#dbs-language
