Omg. I'm so annoyed that I've only just found this thread!! This thread is so awesome! ;D

I've been wanting to learn Auslan for over a year now and I've been trying to figure out how to start. Random side note... I'm also trying to learn German (ich habe ein bisschen Deutsch gelernt). I think that every school should offer opportunities for students to learn Auslan. Personally, I would have much rather learnt Auslan instead of Japanese. I don't have any plans of going to Japan, but there are tones of members in my community who may be hard of hearing (also, I'm like really bad at Japanese... no matter how hard I tried, it just didn't click with my brain). So yeah, I think it would have been nice just to have an option to learn it...

Thanks so much! Auslan really is such a useful skill and I totoally agree that everyone should have the option to learn it at school. I found it heaps easier to learn than Italian and there have been heaps of times when it has actually been useful to me outside of the classroom!

If you’re looking for resources to learn, check out the VCE Auslan board. It’s fairly quiet but there are some useful bits and pieces! ;D

Laura this is so amazing! I agree that Auslan should be available as an option to learn at school as it is such a valuable skill and how much you know is so impressive!!!
I taught myself some basic Auslan as there is one lady who (when I was working at McDonald's) would always visit and it felt horrible having to try and 'guess' what she wanted by what she was pointing to/gesturing at.
I can't wait for further updates!!!!

Awesome! I'll be sure to check it out! :D

I went on an Auslan tour of the NGV for Chinese New Year! I found it really interesting, and luckily there were some other people just learning there too, so they were signing slowly. I'm going to try and do things like that more often. ;D
