Testimonials

The Auslan classes were incredibly beneficial to refresh my basic understanding of Auslan. The instructor was welcoming, inclusive, and patient with everyone, and the classes are interactive. Highly recommend these classes for anyone wanting to begin their journey of understanding Auslan.

The course was fantastic. The amount of guests that came into the class was a huge advantage. The quality of our teachers as experienced interpreters was awesome. It was total immersion which is what you need for learning a new skill.

The teachers all demonstrated a passion and dedication in helping each of us succeed. The support and encouragement was palpable throughout the course.

It was such a life changing experience as I was introduced to a whole new language and culture that I was never aware of before, and strongly believe everyone should try learning Auslan.

So much fun, you learn so much in such a short period of time, so interactive, amazing teacher.
