Okay folks so you're getting a little deaf or your hearing aids don't work properly or you forget to change the batteries every 2 weeks or put them on. You may even have grandkids or great grandkids who are deaf. Come try Auslan & have fun! You do need to know your left from your right and you do need a good memory and time to practice!! It's a language after all! You must be able to print off the lessons as I send them to you each weekJust think - you'll be able to enter the world of this great community. You'll be able to sing out loud and communicate more easily. You'll know another language! It's also great exercise!

We commence with the Auslan Introduction course. Please don't try to buy the book as it may be a different edition and so the pagination will be all wrong.
Then we move onto some videos, which are much more fun, from an Auslan tutoring company in Victoria.
Finally, if you stick it out from then end of Term 2 we start singing in Auslan! If you make it all the way to Term 4 - there is the Joy of Christmas through Auslan - a real treat!
About the Tutor:
Born in Sydney, Linda's social and working lives have involved many cultures and their languages.At approximately 12, Linda saw the alphabetical sign language in the back of the telephone book and taught herself how to use it. This came in very handy many years later for a deaf group who played ten pin bowling.
Working in all kinds of fields, Linda was to experience different people from all walks of life including some who used sign language.
