  • I don't understand your quotations marks lol! You are a hearing person. Well done. Deaf culture does exist. You are patronising in your use of quotation marks there..

    Of course curiosity is allowed in Deaf culture- I never said it wasn't. I was simply answering your question, wasn't I?

    I get that you find it distracting, but many (myself included) find it very helpful when there are lip-patterns used. If learning Auslan is something you are interested in, you adjust to it.

    Good luck.

  • Why do you move your mouth. You're not talking so what is the point of that?

  • @johnas1011 Ever heard of Deaf community and Deaf culture?

  • @aussieartist That's by far the most scathing comment I think I've seen on youtube, but it was well deserved. Thank you for making this video, I learned a lot.

  • @johnas1011

    Some Deaf people are very oral (mouth patterns, speaking) and some barely use lip patterns (mostly they make lip patterns, but it's not always the English word for a sign, sometimes it's a 'bah', 'blum' or 'pah' mouth shape). In this video, AussieArtist is very helpful and teaching presumably hearing people, hence the heavy mouth-patterns.

    You need to research the Deaf community and culture if you ARE genuinely interested in it BUT be careful with the attitude you have.Seriously

  • @MissScaryMac Well I am a "hearing person" and I can honestly say the mouth patterns do NOT help at all. They are a distraction. Also curiosity is not generally considered a negative attitude in the culture I come from. Sorry if it not allowed in "deaf culture".

  • @johnas1011 I am sorry to hear that you do not think that Deaf culture exists. Curiousity is needed in Deaf culture.

  • @MissScaryMac You are right on that point. Some Deaf people prefer to move their mouths gesturing while signing because some signs are similar but in vary of contexts to use the correct signs, just like how hearing people used their voice tones.

  • In Cairns.

  • I teach Deaf children and work with Deaf adults. We use the second 'I don't understand' sign lots in our conversations.

  • @jesyne1 cool, it's sort of flexible to use the correct signs. Mind me askin' where do you teach Deaf children at?

  • i know some sign language because i have a sign teacher and she is not deaf

  • hmm the 2nd sign of "I don't understand", I thought the sign should be say "mystery" or "suspect"? maybe I am wrong? :)

  • No, it is not because it is often signed "I don't understand" in one sign. "Suspect" is different sign and "mystery"... well... I can't remember what the sign was for but normally we say "strange" quite a lot.

  • 2nd sign of "I don't understand" I've never seen a sign like that, interesting =)

  • Then something new does interests you!

  • Damn, the quality on here doesn't look great than my original video on my computer. Each paper said..:

    The first part is... I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

    Second part is... LIKE or SAME.
