A good beginning is to learn the manual alphabet and the signs for who, what, when, where, and why, plus how do you sign?.
Here's a link for the alphabet: Manual Alphabet -- special bonus -- it has the numbers from 0-9 and gives some explanations for good fingerspelling production :)
Here's another link for the alphabet: Manual Alphabet 2 -- special bonus -- it has other handshapes you'll use in other signs.
Links for the other words: who, what, when, where, why, how, all are on a dictionary, and you have to search the dictionary to find the appropriate signs.
If you are ambitious, you can do an online ASL course (free) and I will help tutor anyone who wants to do this. Every week, I will have read the lesson and be ready to answer any questions and help with any vocabulary/handshape issues during workouts.
