Sign language has many languages. It differs from place to place. If you live in America then you learn ASL (American sign language) If you live in Brittan then you learn BSL. Etc. Make sure whatever sign class you take will be relevant for you. There are many on-line classes for free that you can take. It is also VERY helpful to practice with someone though. Good luck. :)
Community College classes will work too.

Find out where the schools for the Hearing and Speech Impaired are, and contact them. There are books and websites about it. You should be able to learn if you really want.
Keep in mind that there are different sign languages. I know that there is ASL, American Sign Language; BSL, British Sign Langugage, Native American Sign Language, even Slovakian Sign Language.

There are many good books for learning the elementary basics and sometimes the advances steps of sign language. These books are available at any chain bookstore, i.e. Borders, Barnes and Noble, Waldenbooks, etc. They can be found in the Reference section, under languages.

You can actually go to Google and type in Sign Language, and you will get the alphabet for sign language.

I know someone who learned it so he could play a deaf person in a theatre production. The play was judged in a high school competition - and one of the judges just happened to have a deaf child. She knew he wasn't faking!
He learned the sign language he needed (some of it was quite complex) from books in the high school library.

Community colleges usually offer classes. Check your cities recreation system as well. You can also go to places where a heavy deaf population resides, and use the immersion technique. I went to schools where there was a heavy deaf population, so I learned how to sign in 6th grade. My school offers classes as well.
