I just finished showing your blogs to our Deaf ASL instructor. She loved them! She thinks it is such a great idea that you have to open up the world of communication across continents like that, and said she truly admires what you are doing. She looks forward to more demonstrations, and said to thank you for being such a wonderful ambassador for the deaf communities.

These are great! Wonderful to see the comparison between ASL and AUSLAN. I love the sign for BORN with the "head" pushing through; it's so graphic compared to ASL.

Do you know whether the British Sign Language (BSL) and AUSLAN alphabet are the same? The few letters I know looked the same but I don't remember the BSL alphabet well enough to know the rest. I assume BSL had some influence on AUSLAN.

I would really love to learn a foreign sign language at some point.

It is a true pleasure of mine to show a lot of VLOGs on AUSLAN between ASL, and I tend to continue making videos for you all to enjoy!

Thank you for such kind words for me as an ambassador for the deaf community of America and Australia.. I am truly honoured.

Keep an eye on this thread for updates! I have updated the vlogs yesterday, but I believe you have watched them already

Yes, Interpretrator - the alphabet in AUSLAN is pretty much the same as BSL, BSL has influenced some signs on AUSLAN, but remember, we have our own signs in AUSLAN. BUT Between ASL , BSL and AUSLAN - there are some signs which are the same, no matter what for.

AUSLAN signs looked somewhat simliar to BSL signs.

jclarke, just wondering here. Did you and your parents visit DeafChat.com in the late 1990s and early 2000s? I have read your previous entries here, one was where you talked about going to Washington, DC when you were very young. The lady was telling some people in DeafChat that she was taking her son, about 12 at the time to visit Gallaudet in the early 2000s.

That's correct, that would be my mother, and she mentioned it in the deafchat in 1999 and I went to Washington D.C and visited the university! Which is Winter 1999 (February, 1999)

BUT let me assume something, is that you Brian Kelson??? The one who took me on a tour around gallaudet??

Now, time for another update! Here is my 5th Vlog - I am showing Family members signs in ASL into AUSLAN. Enjoy!

VLOG #5

JClarke · 08-29-2007, 09:50 PM

Alright, ladies and gentlemen.... I am planning to make another VLOG while I am on holiday in Perth WA (West Australia) next week. I would like to know, just to add into the VLOG, what would you like to see in the AUSLAN language? I am leaving on Monday next week... and while I am filming, I wouldn't be able to put it up once I have returned, but only be able to come online and post as usual via my sidekick 3.

So if you have any curiousity about the AUSLAN Vlogs, please feel free to post up here. NOTE: for new members, who has not read this thread, I can sign ASL, so it is more easy for you guys to know what the signs you would be expecting in AUSLAN.

Look forward to your feedbacks.

jillio · 08-29-2007, 09:56 PM

Why don't you tell us about your holiday?

What a good idea.. I should do the VLOG outside in a warm weather, as it is nearly spring here! Gotta love it

Yes, and then we could see all of the pretty scenery, too!

If I could get some good background for you all to admire while listening

jillio · 08-29-2007, 11:16 PM

I have faith in you. You've done a wonderful job with the others!

Thank you Jillio

I will try my best to capture one VLOG during my holiday trip, as for a change.

In other matter, for the VLOG #5, I have been a bit concerned about that, does it confuse you a bit or did you get it all right? Did it need a bit of work besides the best first few VLOG's? A feedback from you would be great!

P.S = The last two VLOGS has been captured by my cell phone with 5 MP Camera, I know it is quite difficult to import it over to my PC and edit it as I don't have any proper software to reformat my mpeg4 files to the PC - only have Windows Movie Maker.

Well, I did think the last one was abit more confusing that the first 3, but I thought it was just me. I just watched it three times to figure it out.

THREE times!? Must be bad lighting in the room, maybe? But actually, yeah, my friend from Florida mentioned it as well, so I shall re do that VLOG #5 in a better clarification and it would be more clearer for the audience to read again!

Yes, I think it was the lighting.

Good, then you know how to correct it. You are one step ahead of me with that knowledge!

Quite right, I am well known for smart explantation with the deaf community, I have always in deep discussion about media advertising in Australia to improve the employment status.

Good for you! It is a perfect occupation for someone who is visually oriented.

Of course! A lot of deaf people I know, generally from Melbourne are very impressed on what I have discussed about. And they want me to do it one day. But Jillio, I have a question, does this occur to the deaf people who has experiences in multimedia within the employment status to make the hearing employers/employees aware about the deafness at the workplaces?

Oh, yes. The more deaf people there are in traditionally hearing occupations, the more aware that the hearing employers/employees become aware of the talents and contributions of the deaf.

That sounds very interesting, do you know anyone that you know, who is in part of these, I would be interested to discuss about?

I'm certain I can come up with a few. Just give me a bit of time to gather the info for you.

No problem, Jillio.

Actually, I am going to be on vacation next week, so no hurry there.

UPDATE: For blogging about my trip and Vlogs whilst in Perth

Vlogs and Blogs about my trip can be found here

Dixie · 09-03-2007, 03:29 PM

Those are some nice blogs mate! I agree that AUSLAN tends to be much more straightforward in the concepts than ASL such as the BORN sign that jillio noted.
