Transport signs
In this video the tutor teaches you some transport related signs.
Some of these transport signs are another great way to practice your DS. The signs are "iconic", they look the same at their own. For example, you can sign "BOAT" quickly. This shows a speedboat. By signing it slowly and moving your hands apart, it shows a big cruise ship.
Another great example of this is "PLANE". By wobbling your hand when signing it shows to the person that the plane is going through turbulence. Moving the plane hand slowly or quickly shows the speed of the movement (verb inflection).
The tutor then gives an example of how a long English sentence can be show visually in Auslan. Try it for yourself!
