Thankyou for this. You presented it well, clearly and at a speed that makes it easier for people to learn the correct hand/finger positions. Wearing a dark outfit to use as a background against which to sign made it so much easier to see. I'm not deaf, nor are any of my family or friends, but I find it hard to hear what people are saying in a crowded, noisy room, bar, or club.
I learnt this in grade 6 of primary school, I’m now 46 and I still remember this. I’ve never had a need to use it, but it’s such a useful language to know.
Sign language is the perfect bridge. Not only can it enable people who have trouble speaking communicate but if two people speak two different languages but both know the same type of sign language they can talk without a translator
Well the issue is that basically every country has their own sign language. Just the fact that British American and Australian sign language arent sent the same shows how many there are.
It’s wonderful in theory, but in practice there is such a difference between countries linguistically and culturally that it’s actually tricky having a universal sign language.
Yeah it's especially annoying because multiple English speaking countries will have their own completely different sign languages and it's just like UGAHHGHHHHHH
I learnt this is primary school (I’m 34). We did have some deaf students in our school, but I agree it should be mandatory regardless. I’m now trying to remember all the phrases we learnt too.
Same as British sign! except with super subtle differences in B and C with those both using all fingers in bsl rather than just the forefinger and thumb
Thank you so much I have now learned sign language this made it so easy and me being 13 having deaf people at my school omg thank you now I will be able to communicate with the
Thanks, this was much better than decoding complicated photos. Especially since I'm left-handed, so I can copy exactly what you're doing rather than flipping around the "photos"
Really enjoyed this video!! It was super helpful but i just was wondering if it mattered overtly if i used my left hand despite being right handed? Does it change meanings or is it just a simple thing that doesnt really influence understandability?
I think the Auslan Alphabet specialises in being really quick to learn. Personally I think the American Sign Language alphabet is better because most letters only require one hand to sign. But! Most of the Auslan alphabet letters look like the actual letters so there’s way less brute remembering involved. It could also be that you’re a ‘hands on’ learner, which would be brilliant for learning sign language 🤔
One of by best friends can hear but has hearing aid and can’t hear in loud areas so she decided to teach me some of the best things to tell her in asl for emergencies but we just ended up using it to communicate in class
I’m rlly confused, she said to use whichever’s your dominant hand but how am I supposed to know which one I’m using when she hasn’t told me if she’s left or right handed? It’s also not clear on which the video is inverted or not.
The hand position shown in the below video, at 1min.33, seems that you tap with your finger, rather than just one movement. ua-cam.com/video/_5NbYyUlcHU/v-deo.html It also appears how you hold your other hand is different. Fingers directly forward for toilet, and slightly angled up for T.
i know in British sign language a lot of the signs are the same but the difference is with lip pattern, so you would use that sign but mouth the word toilet
Im trying to learn sign language ans in my opinion ASL is so much easier than AUSLAN . Why did wr have to complicate things. ASL can be done on one hand.
Berkan Kozanoglu well maybe some of us live in Australia or New Zealand and don’t really care if it’s easier or not because they just want to know the sign language their country does instead of a totally different country.
There’s nothing to be done about it. Languages develop individual of anyone’s will - no one chose to make AUSLAN harder in that way, that’s just how the language developed.
Weird comment. That’s like complaining that you’re trying to learn Spanish but you think Portuguese is so much easier. What relevance does that have to anything?
got to wonder why such a difference between American sign language, British and now Auslan... can anyone explain why we have our own sign language? I personally prefer the American sign alphabet to Auslan.
Because BSL and Auslan both evolved from the same older British sign language, they have more similarities. But ASL was developed separately. Remember that these languages are primarily being used by Deaf communities, so they aren't connected by spoken English in the same way that Australian, British, and American people are.
Fun fact: the vowels in auslan are just each of the five fingers: a, e, i, o, u, one for each finger
That's a huge help in memorizing. Thanks

Cathy Billett I'm doing this in grade 6
I learnt this in kindergarten and it is compulsory for my whole school and I'm in grade 6. My teacher is making me watch this.
never used it but its useful.
This is for my own Personal Reference.

I wish it was easy to learn 😅

they should change the curriculum to having kids learn this.
but then again, they could use it to communicate in class
I learnt this is primary school (I’m 34). We did have some deaf students in our school, but I agree it should be mandatory regardless. I’m now trying to remember all the phrases we learnt too.
So what? Learning sign is much more important than that.

Question: are the signs demonstrated right handed or left handed?
right handed
@@katier7265 Is this video mirrored? As in, is the hand on the right side the left or the right hand?
@@_.lea_vdwest._ not sure, that’s a good question
Does it matter which way your hands do it, such as right hand or left hand?
I was wondering the same thing.
One of by best friends can hear but has hearing aid and can’t hear in loud areas so she decided to teach me some of the best things to tell her in asl for emergencies but we just ended up using it to communicate in class
This is Auslan though?
@@tigerlilygledhill8348
This is the BANZSL (British Australian New Zealand Sign Language) category
Interesting! Similar to AUSLAN. I enjoy your sign videos :)
I accidentally learn the abcs on the wrong hand awhile ago I don’t really want to change that would I have to?
Nope
some days my hearing is really bad and this is very easy to learn quickly
I’m 48. I learnt this in year 4 of primary school and I still remember it today.
Thanks it’s very fun to learn
I'm seeing a discrepancy with 'B' all over google. Is it with the rest of the fingers up or with all the fingers making a circle shape?
Ugh I hate having to use two handssssss, why not just the oneeeeee. I’m trying ahhhh.
Thank you for teaching me the alphabet
I’m rlly confused, she said to use whichever’s your dominant hand but how am I supposed to know which one I’m using when she hasn’t told me if she’s left or right handed? It’s also not clear on which the video is inverted or not.

thank you! :) 💜
Anyone able to tell me how to distinguish between T and Toilet? They look like the exact same hand positions?

ASL came to Ame ica from France. Many British areas have similar. Just be happy t here is a fluent true language for the Deaf.

Is she right handed? I’m right handed and for some reason it hurts for me to use my right
So cool
I learn this at school but more advanced words
Thx so much
Omg it's very different from America's SL alphabet 😮
got to wonder why such a difference between American sign language, British and now Auslan... can anyone explain why we have our own sign language?

In my opinion all english speaking sign languages should all be the same why change it unless you mean something else?
Just learnt how to say my nane
good!
