Thanks for the video David! I’m currently learning Auslan at TAFE and a surprising number of people, when they know I’m learning sign language, will ask me ‘How is your ASL course going’. I feel like the dominance of American media worldwide definitely contributes to this, as for many Australians their first exposure to sign language might be in an American tv show or movie. I’m glad I have found your channel, watching your videos helps me a lot to learn and improve my Auslan!

Thank you so much. I am a german in australia with a autistic child. He is now verbal but still at times selectively mute. This helped me so much, because seeing the differences will help me pay more attention. I loved the note on the grammar break down. Thank you alot again. Sending you much appreciation.

I use Signed English. I started having problems with my hearing after I had mumps as a child, around 9 years old. I also have a learning disability called Irlen Syndrome. I used to do alot of volunteer work with hearing impaired & deaf children starting in the late 1980s. I used Signed English alot. I was never comfortable using Auslan. To me it was just too confusing. If I'm in a situation with lots of noise like a busy restaurant, all I hear is noise, I can't understand anything. Even from the person sitting next to me. I've always felt comfortable with Signed English, I find it easy to understand. I find it the total opposite with Auslan. Missing words, Words around backwards, strange facial expressions where your unable to read lips. I was just too confused. I would leave events with other deaf people early because they made me feel uncomfortable. All I wanted to do was meet some new people. I didn't have many friends & had low self-esteem & self-confidence. When this happened I left & never went back. I couldn't take another rejection. If people want to use Signed English there is nothing wrong with that. People shouldn't be excluded just because they choose to use Signed English. Everyone needs to feel wanted & needed. Everyone needs friends.

Hello Heather! I'm sorry you had to experience that. I'm (very sloooowly) learning Auslan at the moment, and it can be really tricky and confusing at times too. I just wanted to reply and say thank you for sharing your story because I did not know Signed English existed 😯 I looked up what it was and how to use it and it's really helpful. So thank you!

This was so interesting to watch and learn about how different cultures use sign language!

[@Panzerfaust_1939]

Nice

[@Mimmzies]

Great video! I'm slowly learning Auslan and I've always wondered how different Auslan is in comparison to BSL and ASL. I also did not know that International Sign existed! That's really cool!
