Key word signing course

There was a free sign language course put on Early Learning Tasmania (ELT) so we went along to see if it would be good for us. It is a basic 4 week/half hour course and so we were not to sure how much we would learn becuase we have already picked up a small vocabulary of signed English.

The idea of Key word signing is to use Auslan signs when talking to babies or young children but only using a single sign, the key object or activity, for the whole sentence. I am hoping to use this course to expand my Auslan vocabulary.

I am glad we went becuase even though the planned course was very basic, the instructor had something ready for people who knew a little already and afterwards she asked us what sort of areas we would like her to bring material on for us in the coming weeks.
