though it is no substitute for classroom learning, which you'll need if you ever want to approach on even basic fluency.

It's an online ASL training program, it's meant to be used to teach ASL in classes but all the course materials are included and can be used to learn at home. It's free, though there are donation buttons (on the honor system) and paid expanded course materials available too.

Mostly what you'll need a class experience for is to correct your mistakes or misunderstandings. They happen, I've been learning ASL for about 6 months and I learned the other day I've been forming my fingerspelling K's wrong the entire time.
