I don't mean to sound condescending, but learning sign language isn't that hard, there are a lot of tutorials out there, and although they're just the basics, I'm sure she'd be happy that you're giving the attempt to communicate.
If you do try, remember that it takes time to get the hang of it, So don't stress or give up.
