Your Auslan Teacher
As a deaf person, Darren uses his voice to teach you how to communicate with a deaf person in Auslan.
Darren established Learn Auslan Online in May 2020 to educate the wider community who wish to learn Auslan and general Deaf Awareness and Deaf Culture
Since 2004 we have taught Auslan in workplace and community courses, in childcare centres and primary schools as well as teaching Auslan to families with deaf children. Prior to COVID-19 we were teaching around 4000 to 5000 children and adults each week.
Today, most of our teaching of Auslan whether to workplaces, universities or families with deaf children is done using Skype or Zoom. As well, our Auslan level 1 and level 2 online courses have been well received with almost 3000 enrolments as of October 2021.
