No, American Sign Language (ASL) has its own grammar, distinct from spoken English. It uses facial expressions, classifiers, and topic-comment structure, whereas English follows subject-verb-object (SVO) order in sentences.

I know it very well the English language is very cheap and rough language that anybody can easily learn and speak but mostly we don't get more chance for communication. Can you make a good chance for developing communications skill for fluency English?
Of course, as we know if some body keeps in mind that he can then obviously he can. It might be taking some time but if its you desire then you can. Any how you just try to use English language in your daily life. This will surely help u a lot.

What are good English websites where I can practice spoken English?
English you can practice it by reading good qaulity nites and newspapers, etc. Websites are only for little 10-15% fluency but other reading material can only improve your english. For better improvements hire a tutor.
