The BSL fingerspelling alphabet

The 26 letters of British Sign Language fingerspelling, each demonstrated on video by a Deaf teacher. Unlike most sign languages, BSL spells with both hands: the vowels are the fingertips of your passive hand.

Fingerspelling is how you spell a name, a place or any word you do not know the sign for yet. Open a letter to watch it, learn where it comes up and how to practise.

You've just learnt a sign.

Anna teaches you the next 500, with step-by-step lessons and Deaf teachers.
