Sure! Here's a left-handed fingerspelling test using British Sign Language (BSL). Try to match each letter with the left hand, as shown in the following:

  1. A – Make a fist, with the thumb beside the index finger.
  2. B – Hold your hand palm forward with your fingers together, forming a "B" shape.
  3. C – Shape your hand like the letter "C" by curving your fingers.
  4. D – Form a "D" by bending your index finger in a circle and keeping your other fingers straight.
  5. E – Make a fist with your thumb pressing down, forming a small "E."
  6. F – Form an "F" by touching your thumb and index finger together and extending the other fingers.
  7. G – Make a "G" shape by curling your fingers slightly and extending your thumb out.
  8. H – Form an "H" by holding your hand with the index and middle fingers extended, together, and the other fingers curled.
  9. I – Make a fist with your thumb up, and extend your pinky finger.
  10. J – Start with the "I" shape and move your pinky in a small curve to make the "J."
  11. K – Form a "K" by extending your index and middle fingers and separating them slightly, while the thumb points out to the side.
  12. L – Form an "L" by extending your thumb and index finger, making a right angle.
  13. M – Curl your thumb over the first three fingers and extend the pinky.
  14. N – Curl your thumb over your first two fingers and extend the pinky.
  15. O – Form an "O" by making a circular shape with your fingers.
  16. P – Form a "P" by extending your index and middle fingers, while your thumb points sideways.
  17. Q – Form a "Q" by making a fist with your thumb sticking out and extending your pinky finger.
  18. R – Form an "R" by crossing your index and middle fingers.
  19. S – Make a fist with your thumb wrapped around your index finger.
  20. T – Make a fist and position your thumb over the top of your index finger.
  21. U – Extend your index and middle fingers together, with the other fingers curled.
  22. V – Extend your index and middle fingers in a "V" shape, with your other fingers curled.
  23. W – Extend your index, middle, and ring fingers in a "W" shape.
  24. X – Form an "X" by curling your index finger to cross over the middle finger.
  25. Y – Extend your thumb and pinky, while your other fingers are curled in.
  26. Z – Use your index finger to trace the letter "Z" in the air.

This is a valid topic, I too am left handed and can't get above 21 on the speed test as those hands are not as I see my own hands!

    • Hi, I'm Effie. I'm autistic. Sometimes, when I get particularly dysregulated, I find speech difficult. I'm also highly sensitive to noise and love the idea of being able to communicate silently. I've always been interested in signing, and finally decided to have a go at learning.

    • Hello! How did your first exam go?  I wasn't a member on here when you posted, but in Level 1 your exams aren't expected to be in sign order, my tutor didn't teach sign order until Level 2. I'm currently doing Level 2 and must sign in the correct bsl structure in my exams. Drift 
    • Hello, my name is Drift. I started to learn BSL as a hobby, resulting in falling in love with this beautiful language and progressing to level 2. Would love to practice signing more often.
    • Learning BSL has been something I had been interested in for some time, but like most ideas I didn't actually do anything to actually make this happen, until one day at work..... I work for the ambulance service, responding to those emergency 999 calls. Now this particular day was a dark early start and our first job or the day was a welfare check for a patient that wasn't responding to their lifeline call. The job came through stating that the patient was deaf, was give the keys safe details so we could gain entry to the property. The patient was alright, but they were only aware of our presence when we turned on his bedroom light. In al honesty I felt ashamed and disappointed with myself that the only way we could communicate was through typing messages on a mobile phone.   That is why I am learning BSL. I'm still very early on in my BSL journey but it has already come in useful.
    • Hi, I work in theatre. Several shows are signed for the patrons. I thought it would be very useful to have the ability to be able to sign to make their experience in coming to the theatre more enjoyable. 
    • Hello, my name is Beth. I'm learning BSL as part of my DofE course. I also think it's a really important skill to have, and a very very important language
    • Hi I'm just starting out on BSL.  I work in a school, I just wanted to learn BSL and have joined an informal group as there's no courses in my area at present.
