Finally, she had enough and called them out for not wanting to put in a bit of extra effort for her sake. They weren't too happy about it and the redditor turned to the AITA community for a verdict on who was right and who was wrong.

Someone who enjoys learning new languages or has a lot of free time to dedicate themselves to a new project will obviously pick ASL up a lot quicker than a person who has no interest, very little time, and feels forced. The Language Doctors write that some sign language classes can take up to six weeks to complete while others are self-paced.

Alternatively, you may pick up some basic signs, and it may only take a few months. Remember that individual students have a different learning curve, so don't get frustrated if you need more time than others."
According to The Language Doctors, learning ASL isn't any more difficult than learning a spoken language.
