    BSL Fingerspelling Alphabet

    Fingerspelling is a way of spelling words using hand movements. The fingerspelling manual alphabet is used in sign language to spell out names of people and places for which there is not a sign. Fingerspelling can also be used to spell words for signs that the signer does not know the sign for, or to clarify a sign that is not known by the person reading the signer. Fingerspelling signs are often also incorporated into other BSL signs.

    British Sign Language (BSL) uses the two-handed alphabet however some other sign languages use the one-handed alphabet.

      Hello Hannah, lovely to meet you. Well done on putting yourself out there and learning BSL. I am also new to learning BSL. Not very confident to do a video, but wanted to say welcome and send some positive vibes. It was great to see the signs learned in your video.  Lorna

      Having an awareness of sign language is so important. Being able to communicate with others and be inclusive is part of what makes us the sociable species we are. Making BSL available to more people and even at school from an early age would help everyone communicate more easily. I'm also learning to keep my mind active and to help with some volunteering I do.

      Hi, I have wanted to learn BSL for a long time, but have only recently got around to it. I am a rugby player going into cardiac physiology and want to be able to communicate with any patients whose preferred communication method is BSL. Feel free to reach out, as I would love to communicate with others who know BSL.

      Hi my name is Sara I have always been keen to learn BSL, having done small amounts in the past at school/youth groups, but have taken the decision to teach myself now as a hobby mainly but also as a result of starting to suffer from hearing loss at 46. I work at a University and feel it may be a good tool and skill to potentially help any students needing support being a bonus.
