About Me
I am Deaf. I am excited to share the awesome language of Auslan with you.
The use of the word ‘awesome’ in the logo is entirely deliberate.
As a Deaf person who has used, loved, and continued to learn Auslan throughout my life, it was when I started studying the Diploma of Auslan (Deaf cohort 2018) that I was awestruck by how beautifully complex Auslan is.
I am absolutely in love with this awesome, unique and visual language and I can't wait to share it with you.
