hey Abby, honestly this is the clearest and the best demonstrated Auslan video on youtube. Kudos to you!! I've been trying to find sources to learn Auslan but its so hard to find and very less material available. Thanks so much for the video, would really appreciate if you could do more videos on it. cheers!
Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely comment, I’m so glad to hear it was helpful and clear. This has made my week! I would love to make more AUSLAN videos, so definitely keep an eye out ☺️ Have a lovely and safe week!
If you truly would like to learn Auslan I would suggest looking at the Auslan Anywhere website. It is a collection of short videos created by members of the Deaf community who are fluent within the language designed to teach anyone Auslan.
The 'your' perspective helps so much. I never got very far when I learnt this in school but have found many situations where it could've helped me in adulthood.
This is absolutely amazing, thanks so much for this! I've been getting myself hopelessly muddled trying to figure out the dominant hand of people on youtube and which part of the sign should be dominant. Thanks so much for such a clear explanation. Also the "your perspective" bit is amazingly helpful - that's another thing that had been stumping me.
Thank you! I’m still in primary school but I’ve recently become really interested in Auslan and how sign language works. This helps a lot, because I have a classmate that has hearing problems and I really want to be able to learn ASL. This was very clear so thank you!!
Hi there! Thanks for your comment, so happy to hear you're interested in learning about sign language! Just to let you know, this is for AUSLAN (australian sign language) not ASL (american) :)
@@AbbyLeahh learning Auslan is difficult lol I learned ASL when I was in Kindergarten (before primary I guess you could say) and had to teach myself ASL I'm trying to learn Auslan but I keep using my less dominant hand lol
Thanks for making this! I was struggling to learn watching other resources. Even though I'm left handed your video was the easiest to learn from! It's the only one I've found with the signs from your own POV and it made all the difference. You're really good at explaining and I appreciated how you kept describing the position of the dominant hand/fingers.
I'm a newbie & I'm soaking up all these awesome lessons.. I'm so glad that people care enough to teach hearing people like me how to sign!!.. you guys are the greatest!!
@@wltrrbls I mean two years later, it’s her channel she can post what she wants but I’d much rather learn auslan than fashion and beauty things that many many other youtubers already do
Thank you so much for explaining that so clearly. I had my first class the other day and they didn't have any print outs and they went through the alphabet too quickly. I really struggled as I am not a fast learner. I just watched a different video but your explanation and demonstrations were much clearer. I liked that you had the different angles of videos for those of us who are right handed
It's been four years so you a) might not see this and b) if you do, you might already know this, but as this video is super helpful, I am hoping my tip will also be slightly helpful: While I think your hands look fine, if you are worried, put some light moisturising cream on your hands (and only hands) before putting the fake tan on. The cream stops the tan seeping into any of the cracks/dryness on your hands/fingers (especially in the webbing area). Thank you so much for such a helpful video.
This is great !! Thanks so much, I would really love to see more Auslan videos from you 😊 so clear and easy to understand.. as someone who is going deaf I really need to start learning hahah cheers
This is so lovely, thank you for leaving a comment! I'll definitely make more now that I know people are finding it useful. I'm so sorry to hear you are going through such a big transition, I hope you are well, happy signing! 😊
You should check out the website Auslan Anywhere it is a collection of short videos crested by members of the Deaf community to help people learn Auslan.
Thank you so much for this, I know the alphabet, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was what with my hands and ended up doing most of the letters backwards/reversed😅.this was so helpful to clarify which hand is which in it all
Hi Abby. I am a beginner, learning sign language. I liked how slowly you signed the alphabet. It made it easier for me to pick it up. Thank you. Yes more videos would be great.
I have some ASL background which for me is much easier using just one hand instead of both for the alphabet. It's going to take me a while to get the hang of these.
Wow! Im in the US and have heard that sign language is different throughout the US itself. Auslan is so much different than ASL: using both hands for the letters instead of one hand. I was watching The Wiggles and had to look Auslan up! Thank you for sharing!
I started learning sign language in grade 5 since my aide also worked at the Victorian College of the Deaf and I saw it in my dictionary and I thought it was so interesting.
Thank you Abby so much. When I was in kindy we learnt auslan and I forgot it. I would search it up and the only letter I remembered was M but every time I searched it up it didn’t com up with the Auslan way. Thank you 😊.
I have an Aussie friend learning AUSLAN. I'm American and have been using American Sign Language since '91. I've noticed that there are some things that are very similar to each other and some things that are radically different. Like fingerspelling. Which, to be fair, is not too surprising as they are different languages.
That was good! I have looked at other videos but could never get Q. You explain it clearly. Thank you! I’d love to learn a song in Auslan if you are up for that!
I love this video. Thank you for explaining this, especially the dominant hand/non-dominant hand thing. However, I still can’t get over you saying “zee”, though. Haha.
I randomly got sick and then got better but I can barely hear anything, and when I run and have my heart beat increasing I can hear it loudly but cant hear what ppl are saying to me
Im learning ausland for my deaf father,who recetnly got into a fire and is now deaf,on particlly,so i want to learn ausland.If you have any good video links please send them to me!
You should check out the website Auslan Anywhere. You can learn Auslan from people within the Deaf community directly using this. Also look up your state's Deaf society they have both in person and online courses available.
I'm deaf and never learnt, I'm over 70 single, live in the bush and very rarely come in contact with people except my doctor and the bloke that brings my tucker. He also gets my phone recharge vouchers I get along with pencil and paper after l left school at 13. The horses and dogs understand me.
i learned the alphabet off by heart in yr 3 just so my friends and i could talk in class and stuff without people knowing. i dont even know how we learnt, we didnt have books or videos or anything lol.
Hi, I get a bit confused about what sign language is being shown in different videos. At school I learnt British two handed spelling which uses the same signs that you are using, but then some videos show single handed spelling, but the people in them speak with American accents so I take it they are using American sign language. Can you tell me is British two handed spelling the same as Australian sign language? Also is there a single handed version of Australian sign language? Thanks so much.
Does it matter if u use dominant hand or non dominant hand ?? I don’t see why it would matter cos how will the person know which one of my hands is dominant ???
i was reading that Auslan was based off of the BSL orginally, - as well as NZSL (new zealand) they all fit into the BANZSL group and due to this share quite a few similarities, although not completely the same either. whereas the American variant relied more heavily on the LSF (french sign language) and is therefore quite vastly different. not an expert on this by any means but hope this may shed a little light
Im just learning for 1st time, i noticed in the small window you showed "O" and "U" as the same... Thanks for sharing though, enjoyed it ! p.s ( Just had another look, might be just the way you showed it , my mistake )
Yeah I did sign them differently but in the small window you can't see one of my fingers haha sorry about that. The 'O' you point towards your ring finger, and for 'U' towards your pinky. Enjoy learning Auslan! ☺️

Thanks Abby! I can now do the whole alphabet in 11 seconds!
The 'your' perspective helps so much. I never got very far when I learnt this in school but have found many situations where it could've helped me in adulthood.
So glad I could help! Different perspectives definitely helps ensure you're signing properly :)
i’m right handed but it feels much better on the left and i don’t understand why. thank you for the video!
Same
Some people may write right handed but sign left, that’s perfectly normal!
This is absolutely amazing, thanks so much for this!

Hello Abby your video was clear and easy to understand, I’m able to remember the alphabets because of you. Thank you so much please make moreeee 😭😭
This is great !! Thanks so much, I would really love to see more Auslan videos from you 😊 so clear and easy to understand.. as someone who is going deaf I really need to start learning hahah cheers

Hey this is Courtney Cassidy from primary school 💞 This is an awesome video and informative because I’m trying to learn auslan xo
Excellent Abby, you have encouraged me to practice the Auslan alphabet, thank you.
Best Abc demo I have seen.
Keep up the good work 🙂💯
Thank you! My daughter loves learning new signs so I’ll show her this video and we can learn to sign the alphabet together.
Thanks for leaving this comment 💕 Happy signing you two!
You should check out the website Auslan Anywhere it is a collection of short videos crested by members of the Deaf community to help people learn Auslan.
Awesome work x I recommend recapping all the letters as you go from the beginning, so do a, then b, then a b, then c, then a b c and so on 😊
I hope you will do more Auslan, you are a great teacher.😊. Some people just have the natural talent.
really good audio, light and video quality. very easy to understand. thank you
Thank you so much for this, I know the alphabet, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was what with my hands and ended up doing most of the letters backwards/reversed😅.this was so helpful to clarify which hand is which in it all
thank you for this video Abby! so easy to understand and follow!
I learnt this at school grade 6 cause we had a dead girl I loved signing to her
Deaf*
Sorry for being the annoying person who always corrects people but I just can't help it sorry 😂
Wow must be pretty amazing if you can communicate across the veil.
He’s like ‘nope no typo’
At my school we learn it in case we do ever meet someone who is Deaf or Mute
Layla's Life that’s part of why i’m learning it right now
great instruction! i have subbed ... hoping for more Auslan videos
I’m only starting to learn auslan and I found your video excellent, I’ll be using your video often to learn auslan
Thank you this was so helpful! It was really easy to understand thank🤗😊
This was super helpful! Thank you! Please definitely do more Auslan videos
Abby! You are so amazing, thank you for making this video so informative and easy to follow 👏
I learnt it in the 70s but thought I should revise. Like falling off a bike, you never forget!
This was the best tutorial. I appreciate you doing the box with our point of view. Thank you so much
Hi Abby. I am a beginner, learning sign language. I liked how slowly you signed the alphabet. It made it easier for me to pick it up. Thank you. Yes more videos would be great.
This is awesome. Really want to learn and this is a great start.
I know this is an old video but I’m trying to learn basic auslan and this was really helpful!

Wow! Im in the US and have heard that sign language is different throughout the US itself. Auslan is so much different than ASL: using both hands for the letters instead of one hand.
I was watching The Wiggles and had to look Auslan up! Thank you for sharing!
I literally got this so quickly thanks to you
Thank you to the moon and back
I started learning sign language in grade 5 since my aide also worked at the Victorian College of the Deaf and I saw it in my dictionary and I thought it was so interesting.
I know a bit of American Sign Language, and it is so interesting to see the variations across different sign languages
Thank you so much, this helps me a lot!
You didn't HAVE to fake tan. Pale skin is beautiful. You have light eyes and hair, so pale skin would look more flattering on you than orange paint.
Lots of womens lotions have a tanner in them
Good job for teach me .. I am Malaysian deaf and future Australian citizen
Thank you Abby so much. When I was in kindy we learnt auslan and I forgot it. I would search it up and the only letter I remembered was M but every time I searched it up it didn’t com up with the Auslan way. Thank you 😊.
This helped so much I have a deaf coworker and I want to learn to communicate with him
I've recently started learning Auslan and it's so hard to find good info. This is a great video please do more!
Thanks so much, clearest vid I've seen!
This is very well demonstrated. Thank you
I would love to learn more Australia sine language from you
Thanks Abby, this was easy to follow.
Abby very good job, easy to follow, thank you more videos would be appreciated. Cheers John

Hi Abby. Brilliant. Can we have some more, please? You make sign look so easy.
Im ambidextrous so as much as I can do the alphabet no problem, some of it is with my right, some of it is with my left.
please do some more videos like this!! i love learning Auslan
I hope you will do more auslan videos.
Thanks so much for this video, helped heaps💯
great thanks
Your showing very clearly
That was good! I have looked at other videos but could never get Q. You explain it clearly. Thank you! I’d love to learn a song in Auslan if you are up for that!
i’m left handed and everything will be backwards hahahaha
Haha yes it will be but YOU GOT THIS! x
so am I but I adjusted to doing it right hand dominant, it’s pretty easy once you get used to it :)
I have learnt so much from you thank you so much can you maybe do more like greetings and introducing your self
I accidentally leant asl so this helped me a lot, thx
So glad I could help :)
Thank you for making this video, so useful!
This should be a class in school. But tysm for teaching us this!
Neat, I can sign my name now! :) thanks!
that was a mazing please make more videos!😁😄😃😀
Thank you Abby
I love this video. Thank you for explaining this, especially the dominant hand/non-dominant hand thing. However, I still can’t get over you saying “zee”, though. Haha.
Your amazing please make more videos
Did you continue learning Auslan? There are some deaf people at my work who sign, so I'm just learning a little bit here and there.
I still say Zeeee to hahaha don't know why it isn't actually. It rhymes with the song after all !
this helped me so mush thank you ;)
I randomly got sick and then got better but I can barely hear anything, and when I run and have my heart beat increasing I can hear it loudly but cant hear what ppl are saying to me

Like I used to not know auslan after watching a few times wallah I’m the best
I'm deaf and never learnt, I'm over 70 single, live in the bush and very rarely come in contact with people except my doctor and the bloke that brings my tucker.
He also gets my phone recharge vouchers
I get along with pencil and paper after l left school at 13.
The horses and dogs understand me.
Good job.... ASL. I am from Meghalaya (India)
i learned the alphabet off by heart in yr 3 just so my friends and i could talk in class and stuff without people knowing. i dont even know how we learnt, we didnt have books or videos or anything lol.
Thank you Abby Leah
Hi, I get a bit confused about what sign language is being shown in different videos. At school I learnt British two handed spelling which uses the same signs that you are using, but then some videos show single handed spelling, but the people in them speak with American accents so I take it they are using American sign language. Can you tell me is British two handed spelling the same as Australian sign language? Also is there a single handed version of Australian sign language? Thanks so much.
This is awesome! Thanks :)
Thanks for you lovely comment! You're welcome :)
I just practiced for about half an hour from a different tutorial, turns out I’ve been practicing it as a left hander 😭😭
Wild, so since I'm left handed everything would be flipped and I guess deaf would still somehow understand?
Please do more Auslan tutorials.
I really like this content
Aw thanks girl! Hope you're well!
Good happy with sign language ♥
Wonderful.
Warren Lewis HAPPY 😃
this is the exact same language as british!!
If I’m left handed can I use my left hand even though it’s backwards
The AUSLAN alphabet is the same as BSL. Would you say they are quite similar to each other in general?
serious question wouldnt it be eaier and effiecent to use asl one handed leters signs
Does it matter if u use dominant hand or non dominant hand ?? I don’t see why it would matter cos how will the person know which one of my hands is dominant ???
Woah, the auslan alphabet is identical to the BSL alphabet, wasn't expecting that!
Most of what we do comes from the British influence.
We're most of us still very British in our hearts, even while we're fiercely stand alone Aussie
Yes, and New Zealands sign language
it's not identical as far as I can see. Some letters seem to be different. But yea, most of them are the same.
Hi, my mum is deaf so I am fluent in BSL (british sign language) this alphabet is the same as the british one so I was just curious if its the same??
i was reading that Auslan was based off of the BSL orginally, - as well as NZSL (new zealand) they all fit into the BANZSL group and due to this share quite a few similarities, although not completely the same either. whereas the American variant relied more heavily on the LSF (french sign language) and is therefore quite vastly different.
not an expert on this by any means but hope this may shed a little light
They are different languages however they do have some common signs.
Im just learning for 1st time, i noticed in the small window you showed "O" and "U" as the same... Thanks for sharing though, enjoyed it ! p.s ( Just had another look, might be just the way you showed it , my mistake )
Yeah I did sign them differently but in the small window you can't see one of my fingers haha sorry about that. The 'O' you point towards your ring finger, and for 'U' towards your pinky. Enjoy learning Auslan! ☺️
@@AbbyLeahh Yeah , my mistake sorry... Great Video Abby
@@Chris-74 No need to apologise! Thank you so much :)
