Hey, all! Amitofu!

Just making a quick intro here, so I don't look like a total random next time I post! I'm a hearing person learning Auslan at Tafe, and I am absolutely in love with Auslan. I'm training in Kung Fu (my first love and obession :lol:), both Shaolin and Pai Lum, and love the graceful, fluid movements of both Kung Fu and sign langauges.
 
:welcome: to AllDeaf forum. I hope you have fun learning about deafness, reading and posting all the threads here. See you around. :wave: Psss....there is another Aussie Deaf guy who came from the same town as yours, Canberra, Australia. He knows Auslan and knows some ASL. I hope you can meet him right here on our threads. :razz:
 
Thanks for the welcome, Bebonang! It's good to hear there's another Aussie here from Canberra - our brand of humour is rather unique :P

Welcome to AD!
 
JClarke, why didn't you tell that person you teach Auslan? I guess if they didn't know your name they are not your student though? :hmm:

I teach AUSLAN voluntarily only. I am not certified YET.


KingFu - I see that you're learning AUSLAN at CIT, which year are you, are you first year kids? Second year amateurs? Third year experts?

Never mind, you must be Dale, from the first year class, am I correct?
 
Danke, Liebling! Thanks Chevy, SG, ArkieGal, supersonic, Bottesini! G'day Koala - how's them dropbears goin' :D

And, not only is JClarke fluent in Auslan and ASL, but also Jedi mind tricks! :shock: :lol:

Yeah, first year Auslan with some minor experience beforehand with some Deaf up in Queensland. Do you work at CIT, JClarke? Should I suck up to you for better marks? :lol:

A bit more seriously, I'm sure you've heard about the 're-creation' of the Deaf Club in Canberra. I can't wait - I get restless if I can't sign for more than two days :D

Yep, fluent in two languages. I teach voluntarily by request from the teachers - but not certified yet.

and yes, I have heard about the re-creation of the Canberra Deaf Club.
