General Linguistics

The above listing is just suggestive. As with any other field, there is now a huge and still expanding number of sites on linguistics. Use a search engine such as Google to track down other resources of interest. Wikipedia also has an impressive range of articles on specific terms in linguistics, from fricative and generative grammar to aphasia and Grimm's Law, and its clear explanations and examples will be a useful study aid as you read your course textbook (but not as a primary source in papers!).

Phonetics in particular

American Sign Language, ASL

For both fingerspelling and ASL, there's a booming number of visual resources for learning and practice, many of them in YouTube. Try Googling "fingerspelling," specifying "Video".
