Level 2
Auslan Level 2
Content:
Level 2 introduces you to over 400 new signs, new aspects of culture and new grammatical features, while consolidating all you have previously covered in Level 1. By the end of Level 2, you will be able to order your food and drink in Auslan, follow simple directions, talk about your pets, and gradually converse about new topics. You will also be able to recount conversations and short stories and communicate them visually in Auslan.
Classes are interactive, fun, engaging, with lots of hands-on activities to help you learn, practice, revise, and retain new knowledge.
Class sizes are capped at 10 students so there is plenty of opportunity for individual feedback and support.
