I just started an asl class and was recommended this website called handspeak! So far Ibe just been using it to look up specific signs but it said something about learning asl in general

Bill Vicars on YT is a good start! He does lessons with people who don’t know that much asl.

Gallaudet University was the first school for the HOH/Deaf, and they offer classes on ASL, although I don't know how much it costs: https://gallaudet.edu/asl-connect/ , there is also Lifeprint which serves as a dictionary. https://www.lifeprint.com/

I studied ASL in high school, it's a relatively easy language to grasp the grammar and syntax of, a lot of the learning is in proper facial expression and hand positioning. There's a method of writing ASL called GLOSS which helps you understand how you're supposed to sign certain words.
