    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.

      Introducing Myself! Heya!

      By Allanah Jodie Stephenson · Posted

      Heya, My names Alllanah and i have recently decided to take up learning BSL due to needing not only a different career path but life path. I went to college for 3 years studying Art and Design but realized this isn't where i wanted to be in the real world as its very difficult to get into, extremely competitive.  I work in retail and would really like to change my life around and have a purpose to get out of bed in the morning. To help someone during this short stay, we call life.

      WHY ARE YOU LEARNING BSL?

      By Charlie-Thistle Cameron · Posted

      I'm autistic and situationally nonverbal, so thought BSL would be really helpful for when I lose my words. I also have C-PTSD and it'll help notify people when I'm stuck in a flashback and can't talk. I also want to be able to communicate properly with D/deaf people when we meet. I'm really enjoying learning so far, it feels really natural and easy to my brain.

      Hello!

      By Charlie-Thistle Cameron · Posted

      Hi all! I'm Charlie-Thistle, but Thistle or Charlie is fine. I'm autistic and situationally verbal, so thought BSL would be a useful tool to have when I lose my words. As soon as I started learning it just felt really natural and much more comfortable than speech, so I may end up using sign a lot more than I'd initially thought. I'm really enjoying learning and can't wait for it to be safe enough to meet real people in person to practice with. Hope you're all having a nice day! 😊 They/

      Hello Everybody!

      By Jude Reid · Posted

      My name is Jude and I am learning BSL in order to make the shop I work in a more inclusive experience for all and this includes people who use BSL to communicate, everyone should be able to have themselves understood (especially during such trying times) and it is clearly a frustration for some and I would prefer to try and show that I am there to enhance their retail experience and make their shopping trips run a little bit more smoothly. I am also in my final year of University and I am excite

      Reason for Learning BSL

      By Jeanie · Posted

      I am interested in learning languages and wanted to learn to sign.  I would like to be more confident when meeting or working with Deaf people and able to communicate.  Think it is important to keep learning new languages.  BSL is really essential to learn and I feel everyone should understand it and learn it.
