I'm currently taking a sign language class and I'm loving the experience.
>Is it taught like other languages?
Yes, in that there are classes for it. I found the class I'm taking by googling "[city name] asl" and the first result was a class through my local speech and hearing association. Also check any colleges/universities near you.
>Are there specific grammar rules?
ASL is not just English with hands instead of audible words. It is its own language with its on grammar. For instance, question-words (who, what, etc) go at the end of the question instead of at the beginning as with English.
>Also is it something you need classes for or can I learn it from books?
Like nimrah mentioned, I found learning signs from the book with the course difficult because it's one static 2D image. Luckily the book comes with instructional DVDs that I found explained signs very clearly. We are using the Signing Naturally book.
