Australian Sign Language Vlog's

Jacob · 07-11-2007, 11:32 PM

All,

I am not sure if this has been mentioned twice or three times by other members of the forum - Do you reckon, as myself, known ASL signs, make a vlog about what Australian Sign Language is like?

Like for example below:

- Vlog of AUSLAN(Aust. Sign Language) fingerspelling ( I can translate it in ASL as I can to make it clearer)

What is your ideas? What things DO you really want to see in AUSLAN?

Is some signs similar to ASL?

Yes, there is some signs similar. Any questions, you would be cruious to ask, don't be afraid to ask!

Oh man! I JUST had to write a paper on Auslan and you would have been reeeeeeealy helpful! The one sign I remember in Auslan is "ROME," which is the same sign as ASL "NAME."

Well, I'm Australian and is US resident living in USA since July 2005. I can assure you some AUSLAN signs are the same as ASL but given different/same vocabulary

For example,

Where ASL = What AUSLAN
Stand ASL = Stand AUSLAN

Thats all I can think of for now and will add more.

I'd love to see a Vlog. The ways that different nationalities and cultures express similar concepts in sign is fascinating.

Deafaussie's correct - Where AUSLAN the sign "What" in ASL is the sign of "Where" in AUSLAN.

Just have a question before I can start - what would you like to see for the time being?

Perhaps.....Basic Signs like the AUSLAN A - Z (Fingerspelling) and the greeting message?

Like :

"(In ASL) Hi, I'm Jacob. This's first VLOG. I show you what AUSLAN signs are. We start with the basics:

(In ASL) I show you Alphabet
(In AUSLAN - Showing the Alphabet Showing the similarity with the ASL):
A (ASL) A(AUSLAN) and so on.

(In ASL) - "My Name Jacob"
(In AUSLAN) - "My Name Jacob"

Any opinions/thoughts/suggestions?

jillio · 07-12-2007, 11:35 PM

How about some commonly used phrases, like greetings and such? Or signs for commonly used objects?

Thanks!

I'll visit there after this post!

jillio · 07-13-2007, 09:04 PM

That was a really interesting site. I found that some of the signs are very simialr, and some are totally different. And then some resemble the ASL signs that represent a different concept in ASL. For instance, the Australian sign for night looked almost identical to the ASL sign for blind.

Sheila · 07-27-2007, 01:06 PM

Very cool! If you're willing, I would love to see the Auslan Manual Alphabet A-Z and some numbers.

Sheila · 07-27-2007, 02:33 PM

Great video! Thank you. (and I'm happy that it was slow enough for me to follow!)

Thanks, Shelia and I am glad that you can follow up the signs I showed you... good thing, that I know ASL (just average, but still learning) to help manage the understanding...

restless_heart · 07-27-2007, 02:44 PM

I would like to learn some, maybe as much as I could because someday I would be flying out there and visit your country.

Funny, signing is much easier than to speak another language such as Spanish and other language. I couldn't speak their language, just plain English.

I would be hapy to post a few VLOGs for you guys to learn a thing or two.. but I just need some ideas to start off..

it would be helpful, if you helped do some brainstorming...

Sunshine1 · 07-27-2007, 02:50 PM

Wow .. good job, jclarke. It sure shown big different between ASL and Auslan. Thank you for sharing!

No worries

I know that you all guys are curious what AUSLAN is like

Jacob · 07-30-2007, 07:55 PM

I am going to make some more VLOGs soon - but I am curious, as rest_less heart has posted what she would like to see in AUSLAN in the wrong thread.... so any one else who is interested to see some new signs?

Enjoy!

Thanks, jclarke! That was awesome. I'm glad you did ASL first so I could compare, because some of the signs in AUSLAN, I would have read differently based on ASL. Would you mind if I shared this with our Deaf ASL instructor at my college? I think she would be very interested inthe differences.

Of course, you are more than welcome to show to the ASL instructor... I am actually a AUSLAN teacher down here.. and I have known ASL for 8 years, just average of it, but I am re learning it again, as I have been on and off since. But I am very glad that you all have enjoyed the videos. And jillio, please let me know what your instructor think of the AUSLAN signs, and anything else you and the instructor want to ask - feel free to PM me anytime!
