Sign Language Course: Level 1
Learn Sign Language with our Sign Language courses in Sydney.
Sign Language 1 offers you the unique and fun experience of communicating visually using Auslan, the natural language of the Australian Deaf Community.
This course is a pre-requisite for Sign Language 2.
If you want to learn basic Sign Language in Sydney, then this course is for you.
Please note that we currently offer two types of courses – class room and live online via zoom platform!
For the online structure:
Each week you get access to a brand new video with all the signs for the week, plus a live online class with a deaf teacher where you will practice your Auslan skills for 1-2 hours. Classes are run using Zoom, and you will need a laptop or desktop computer so that you can see everything clearly (no phones or tablets please).
