Auslan (Australian Sign Language)

Next week I start my Auslan course to learn how to sign. I'm actually really excited. While I use a small number of individual signs at home and teach Key Word Signing to my TAFE students, I don't know sign language as a language. I'm almost embarrassed to be a deaf person who doesn't "speak" the officially language of my own kind but all that is about to change ............. I hope .......................
