 <!-- 1. Learn the manual alphabet used by the deaf in Australia (Auslan). -->
 a. A helpful tip for making the most of your class time with your trainer, is to ask the students to memorise the alphabet before their first class. You might be surprised how many already know it!
 b. Try this website for an image of each letter and some helpful practise links: [https://auslan.org.au/spell/twohanded.html Auslan.org]
 c. Try this YouTube video to copy and extra tips on the alphabet (captions on):
 {{#widget:YouTube|id=3mdlb7bViOI}}
 d. Fingerspelling yourself and understanding another person fingerspelling to you is a very different experience! Fun games can be created out of practising this skill! Have fun with having conversations through windows to show them the unique benefits of Auslan over spoken languages!

 <!-- 2. Have a minimum of five hours of instruction in signing. -->
 a. It is highly recommended that you find a Deaf person to teach this. If you know someone who knows Auslan, ask them for a recommendation. Otherwise search online for your closest Deaf organisation to contact. If you have very generous trainers, they might even stay to run a game with the whole club! You will be amazed at what they can do with a group of pathfinders who have never learnt a single sign!
 b. All instruction time should be considered a voice-off experience. Ask students to use gestures, pointing and writing to get them to rely on their signing and fingerspelling. Not only does this increase the speed of their learning, but gives them an idea of the communication barrier that Deaf people experience on a daily basis!

 <!-- 3. Hold a conversation entirely in Auslan for two minutes using a mix of established signs and fingerspelling. -->
 Towards the end of training, ask students to pair up and have a conversation based on some basic key words they have learnt. Give them some topics to get them started and teach them to rely on fingerspelling for unknown words.

 <!-- 4. Learn at least 100 signs. -->
 a. E.g., common objects, questions, common phrases and actions, colours, greetings, emotions, the alphabet, numbers, days of the week, and signs related to the songs (below).
 b. It is strongly suggested to learn some church/faith specific words. Ask a Deaf church nearby or Youtube video by Darren Kirkegard.

 c. You can use the online dictionary for help or reminders ([https://auslan.org.au/ Auslan.org]), but keep in mind Auslan is an ever-changing language and if relying on sources such as this instead of practising Auslan grammar, you can turn into more of a signed-English style, which is not Auslan.

 # <b>''Auslan''</b> is a visual language with its own grammatical structures, which are different from those found in English. Auslan is less fixed in terms of word order when compared to the English language. This means that sentence structures are also less fixed. However, there are still some conventional rules and guidelines for using Auslan, which help guide communication. ([https://deafnav.com.au/ DeafNav.com])
 # <b>''Signed English''</b> is a word-for-word translation from spoken English to signs. It is laborious and has been found to be ineffective as a language and teaching tool. ([https://signplanet.net/ SignPlanet.net])
