Any Deaf Users?

I am learning sign language because my boyfriend and I have made friends with a Deaf couple. The man has a hearing aid that allows him to communicate with the hearing fairly well. However, the wife is completely Deaf. She is a sweetheart, so I'm learning how to speak to her.
What I'm asking is, do you think it's appropriate to ask her to help me learn? I read something that said if you want a Deaf person to have patience with teaching you, then you should pay them to be your tutor. I figure this is a win win deal though, she gets someone who can speak with her, and I learn a new skill.
What are your opinions?
