[@cherrytries2922]

Please tell me that Im not the only person learning this for the sake of it. (and also the fact if I meet a deaf person, Ill be able to talk to them straight away instead of having to learn at the time I meet them)

[@ryb5170]

Your not

[@colhannanjr]

I'm exactly the same!!!. I'm so glad that you wrote this.. I'm loving learning Auslan & Really hope that I meet some deaf people!!!

[@justarando5398]

Me to! I've always wanted to learn it because It's Such a nice Language And I Really want to be a sign language Teacher for deaf Children and Adults and For people to learn. I asked my Teacher Once if we could learn Sign language instead of Japanese And she said no

[@vickicrawford6624]

I literally just learned american sign language without knowing and im AUSTRALIAN like seriously cmon

[@BurntIntoOblivion]

my first kinda wake up call to learn this was i was working at praties (Tasmanian baked potato fast food sorta place) and a deaf customer came in, i was serving him and as i didn't/ don't know auslan the only was i was able to take his order was to get him to point to the menu (one of the menus on a piece of paper obviously) it worked but it made me feel like i was letting my fellow aussies down by not knowing it

[@jupiterlovesharrystyles4609]

I think I can now say "Hello my name is Hannah " I'm 14 and trying to learn sign language because I just want to know how to say simple things if I ever meet s deaf person

[@ryb5170]

[@hankelvisimpersonator2832]

Please do more Auslan videos Abbey, you're an awesome teacher. I have been trying to learn Auslan through youtube and yours is the first which gives some hints around the "viewer" perspective of signing (ie: turn your hand this way so they can see what you're doing). Thanks for making it a bit easier.

[@Tookieslam]

Man...I wish we used the American alphabet prefer signing it with 1 hand

[@ceciliareyes2887]

So... There isn't aus alphabet with one hand?...

[@Tookieslam]

Cecilia Reyes pretty sure there isn’t

[@islakennedyy]

same i learnt the american before AUSLAN cause it’s easier

[@colhannanjr]

Yes!! Im just a beginner but I did like the way the American alphabet worked..

[@katrinabelbin6206]

My Nephew was born deaf last year and is having a cochlear implant next the next few weeks. I'm wanting to learn sign language and found your videos to be so helpful. I've been watching them constantly. Thank you. :)

[@peytonhirst]

This is also signed alphabet for BSL -British sign language

[@b3nnefits]

I want to learn, 1. My brigade leader is deaf, 2. I am autistic, and switch between verbal and non-verbal, and want some way to communicate.

[@australiansigning]

I am learning Australian Sign Language. Thank you for the lesson!

[@kerril5855]

As someone who knows the ASL alphabet this blew my miiiind. Two hands? Nah man, too much work haha

[@alvarogil2533]

6 yr after, and still relevant. Thank you.

[@jeziemaee]

Thank you for teaching :) I have found your videos very easy to follow, you are a good teacher. Keep it up!

[@elbookish2912]

i'm learning Auslan so I have more ways to communicate with my Autistic girlfriend. Your videos are very helpful and very chill! thanks!

[@ghouligan3045]

This is so cool!! I've always wanted to learn sign language, but when I worked with deaf actors they were the most nicest and sweetest people I've met. And I wanted to learn ASL so I'd be able to talk to them, also I want to do nursing so just in case. I wanted to learn stuff in advance😄 this was super helpful thankyou!!!💖

[@classicambo9781]

Hopefully a course coordinator raised it with you but in your first year try and make this one of your electives. We don't get many choices in health sciences but this is one I was annoyed wasn't offered at my campus. It is useful and we do need to know it if we want to treat everyone with the same respect.

[@rilesss2321]

go for it girl!!! how did that go?

[@celestialbeing1142]

Thank you so much for making this, I’m autistic and sometimes have trouble speaking and so I’m trying to teach myself and hopefully my family sign language so I don’t have to write my feelings down

[@au5025]

Love this! Taking up learning sign language as a 2020 goal :) your videos help put a lot mate

[@lolhd1245]

How are you going now?

[@amandas.6500]

Sooooo different from ASL! Fascinating, thanks!

[@sarahmurray1242]

Please keep making videos :) loving how you teach

[@colhannanjr]

I'm so loving all of you guys taking the time to teach AUSLAN.. Im just a beginner but I love it so much.. I'm hoping that it will make a bridge between me, deaf people & an awesome friendship!??

[@bevanborges4047]

Thanks for this. It was easy to follow, even with you being left-handed.

[@MissGinger75]

I'm going to travel around Australia soon with my 6 year old. I'll be home schooling him and this is what I've chosen as the language we are going to learn. So I'll be learning it right alongside him. Abbey, your videos are going to be our starting point. Thankyou

[@LivLove_]

I have done BSL for 10 years and it is exactly the same as Australian Sign Language. And just to let you know there is another sign which is for the letter Y which is yellow and you do the same.

[@ajd1177]

This is soooo good. these people are adorable.

[@theycallmeG1]

Thanks girls, really memorable watching the realism

[@kirracardno2870]

OMG thank you so much we are learning dsign language in class and you make it a hell lot easier TYSM

[@capazlibras]

Olá, sou professor de LIBRAS, língua de sinais brasileira, e estou muito interessado em aprender AUSLAN. Parabéns pela iniciativa de ensinar... No Brasil existem aproximadamente 10 milhões de surdos...e incontáveis falantes de libras!

[@robertperren1684]

Hi look forward to seeing some interesting topics on this site soon

[@Thecollectoristheruler]

I am learning this because i sometimes go non-verbal, i have self diagnosed autism and are too scared to ask my mum to go to the doctors to get a diagnosis

[@sialivingstone5654]

This is so helpful. Thank you :)

I Love it since I wanted to learn sigh Language now here it is wow..

[@leruu7667]

Kind thanks Abbey😎

[@analkumarchoudhury1046]

Hello Great you sign language nice

[@littlemiss-katt5967]

I do my alphabet sigh language heaps different but I'm Australian so should I use this one instead?

[@zach336]

Hey Abbey, thank you for your videos! I've just started watching and learning, so I have a question. Is it important which hand you use for signing the alphabet for specific letters. Say, pointing to left or right thumb for A?

[@caitlinperks4209]

I was just looking in the comments to see if this had been answered.

[@aesirfrigg1119]

Good show ladies

[@moxfulder4453]

does it matter what hands you use? or is each sign reversible if that makes sense? thank you

[@jacquioberg8991]

i reckon chantelle does a remake of count on me

[@ryanroo6]

I learn the alphabet but with signing with my left hand 😂 does it matter ?

[@taylorcoleman4861]

do you have to use the same hands, or can you switch it around if youre left handed ?

[@jasonhogan7621]

I choose to learn sing language I already know one handed from pics I can say anything in one handed And I’m only 11 I learnt it when I was 9 and I’ve loved it ever since I even try to teach my best friend because she has a great relationship with her grandmother and she is deaf and it’s just awesome noing that I helped her I really want to help a lot more people and I want to learn two handed sing language because some deaf people that don’t know one handed. Remember I’m only 11 old and have a pashon to help people learn so they can talk to deaf people. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤪🤪

[@noahchant3103]

doing "V" is pretty much peace on your hand

[@YokoshimaSTAR]

The K is really cute!

[@jamestaloni4068]

Do i need to flip this video to be in my perspective or does it not matter which hands u sign with?

[@jeffandjamie9309]

please make more.

[@sarahaccardi]

I have been taught using the opposite hands, (by a friend in school back in the day) is that a problem? Eg for vowels I use my right pointer finger to my left hand etc etc. Also in general does it matter if you change hands (like if you are a leftie?)

[@perrinturner2582]

You should use your dominant hand, all the signs can be done either way :)

[@aussiesweetpotato6961]

I was taught to sign the letter 'y' with your pointer finger on the front of your palm, not the back of the hand. Does it matter which way I do it?

[@chaos9594]

Waimania yeah do it in the way she did

[@dinkydi9573]

Are we seeing this backwards? (The posters in the background are backwards) And does it make a difference which hand you use for the signs that only use one hand?

[@staceymil2087]

I've been wanting to learn sign for a while now as my son's best friends parents are deaf and 2 beautiful ladies at our local Coles across from the school are deaf too, I think it should be mandatory in schools to at least have charts up with basic signs of alphabet and to learn basics so they can communicate. Making it my goal to learn as much as I can so I can hopefully make that change at our school :) thanks for the video girls, also why does it change in different states and is it by alot or just a little bit?

[@gametiger7982]

This helped me thanks

[@Roselovegirl202]

i just learned my name in AUSLAN i'm proud of myself

[@samarathomas8373]

i use the same ending as you !

[@aidanbridges8080]

There are times when you're doing opposite hands to each other, which is the correct one to use or does it nit matter

[@perrinturner2582]

You should use your dominant hand. So if you are right handed you would be using your right hand to point at fingers on your left hand and vice-versa :)

[@jannayacollier1486]

good job that is correct

[@AnuRMusicVideos]

does it matter which hand you use to do each part? like when i sign a do i have to get my left index finger to point to my right thumb, or can i do it the other way around? are all auslan signs mirror image-able?

[@Hbgoalkeeping]

No it dose not mater

[@realisticequestrian8229]

Your dominant hand does the action ones and your non-dominant hands helps.

[@gl-iu5rj]

Amy Macdonald what do you mean by action ones? sorry im really dumb

[@realisticequestrian8229]

@@gl-iu5rj you're not dumb. Signs where you need to move or signs with only one hand, you use the hand you write with.

[@gl-iu5rj]

Amy Macdonald oh i see, thank you so much. so for the letter A, do i use my left thumb and place my right index finger on it? or the other way around?

[@georginagwatkin-higson3381]

Hi! Quick question- do you do the alphabet with your dominant hand, or do you do them so that the person facing you can see the letters (like c is the right way aroudn for the person opposite you?)

[@makayladoyle1474]

Hey i wanted to know do you have to use a specific hand for each letter or does it not matter?

[@chelsey8737]

Huh its so cool to me that other sign languages use both hands to sign the alphabet when american sign only needs 1 hand

[@mitulubana7637]

Hi can you send me. Any deaf students college in Australia addressed. Because my cousin want to study

[@isabellkeyte]

I’m so dumb, I have trouble telling. Is this video flipped or.. Does it matter which hand you do it with?

Hello my name is Mikayla

[@beiatibiriano3453]

Nice

[@TaurusChan15]

Is the sign for T the same as the sign for Toilet?

[@classicambo9781]

Toilet is a double touch - which is a short hand way. You could always finger spell it if there is confusion.

[@umeshKumar-yf6tx]

Good

[@KarenMSmith-ck3ul]

seems you are both left handed
