Auslan Phrases

In Auslan, the convention is to not mouth or speak the English words and sentences as you are signing, although some Deaf people do this to an extent anyway. For practise, try keeping your mouth closed as you sign. Avoid signing Auslan and verbally speaking English at the same time, as the English will confuse your Auslan grammar, facial expressions, classifiers etc. Auslan does, however, have its own lip patterns. These are the mouth shapes Deaf people make when they sign particular words. See

Use this video to learn how to do Auslan fingerspelling. If you can fingerspell you can communicate with any Deaf person - just spell out every word. When you fingerspell, your dominant hand (the one you write with) does most of the moving, and the subordinate hand forms the base positions. In the video I'm fingerspelling with my left hand, so if you are right handed, you should do the signs mirror-image to me. Take care that you don't bend your fingers back unnaturally while fingerspelling. Mak
