What Auslearn is
Auslearn is a mobile app for learning Australian Sign Language, also called Auslan, through video lessons and practice between classes. Each sign is demonstrated on video by a Deaf signer. Its learning path has 61 lessons across 12 units and covers more than 250 signs on video. Visual quizzes give instant feedback, and review sessions bring back signs from recent lessons. Daily practice, streaks, achievements, daily and weekly challenges, and mirror practice offer ways to revisit material. The app is available for iOS and Android phones and tablets, and includes dictionary lookup and progress tracking. The first three units are free; Auslearn Premium is listed at $3.99 a month as an in-app purchase, with duration and billing terms not stated. Auslearn says the app is for beginners and people practising between Auslan classes, not a replacement for learning from Deaf teachers or signing with the community. Group billing, teacher progress overviews, classroom features, and industry-specific signs are being explored but are not built yet. Guest mode does not require an email, and account deletion removes personal data and learning progress from Auslearn's systems.
