Left and Right

My mathematical mind is generally happy with the idea that as the primary hand changes, everything about a sign is a mirror reflection.

But I worry about Left and Right. If these are reflected, they point to the right and left!

I have similar thoughts about East and West. 

Are the signs absolutely always reversed for left-handed signers?

New to BSL and learning for no particular reason.

Hi Alan,

I am a left hand signer and when it comes to directions it is still the same your dominant hand points towards the direction and you confirm with mouthing the word "Left", while pointing to the left etc. 

hope this helps!

You a get together is happening from 6pm on the 8th May and continuing daily (if I'm available) usual time is 7-9pm GMT until November-ish time. Come join in and learn together

      Hello all, I'm a newbie to BSL, and looking forward to learning a new language.  I learned Makaton and was a teacher for children with SEN/D for a number of years. My grandmother taught me how to fingerspell when I was quite young- and its great to revise the skill. Brenna

      Why I am learning

      By Alison2402 · Posted

      I am a student nurse and I feel I should know more than just spoken and written English. I would like to be able to communicate better with any patients I have in the future who use BSL themselves. My children get taught some signing at school so I should also be learning so I can help them learn further.

      Hello all,   I am student nurse and I think that having some knowledge of BSL is important incase some of my patients use it themselves. It will help me build a better relationship with them I feel.

      Hi all! I know a few people who are deaf so  I signed up for a BSL course at my local center so I can communicate better with them. It's not easy! But love it
