How hard is it to learn sign language? How much effort and time is
typically involved for how much communication ability?

I have a friend who is hearing impaired. Although her lip reading and
speech is _very_ impressive, even inspiring, I'm dabbling with the idea
of learning to sign. So I'd like a little information.

Thanks,

Allan
