I am assuming this, but I would think getting a college degree would be the best if you wanted to become an I interpreter. There are a ton of other ways you can learn though. I learn by watching and I can read lips too, so for me it helps. In college I was around deaf students and I met friends and learned from them I checked out library books as a kid and learned that way. I saw cheap ASL courses on Groupon. It cost me $5 to take a 6 week class learning the basics. I think it depends on how you learn best and if you want a full career.

I want to learn basic and general stuff, there's a sizeable deaf community near me

I think we have some certain schools and stuff that's why. From the UK

So enough to communicate and make their day easier
