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.

    • Hello Drift. I too am left-handed and have the same problem. Wendy
    • Hello Drift. I think we have met in the NW Deaf Cafe’ ?    This , I founded two years ago and after an unsure beginning it has grown to such a wonderfully happy place to be. As well as monthly Deaf Cafe’ we have monthly Deaf Pub (!)  and weekly conversation table. We have people with all sorts of BSL skills and those just learning in the free beginner’s classes in our local library. I enjoy leading these very much. From a neighbouring  village a few people came to visit our Deaf Cafe’ last year and  are now setting up their own . This is wonderful for the area where we find many people with hearing impairments are isolated. As no- one in this village currently signs , I am introducing them to the BSL basics and their enthusiasm is so rewarding. Such a great thing for a village to decide to do.   I too have a problem practising conversation though ; I have so much still to learn ! I returned to BSL many years after my first venture in 1992 when I passed the exam, now known as Level 1.  Good luck with your Level2 .   
    • Hello everyone, I'm Giorgia, I decided to start learning British Sign Language because I’m curious and genuinely care about connecting with people in more inclusive ways. Through my work, I support and train people from many different backgrounds, and learning BSL feels like a meaningful step to better support others and reduce barriers. I’m starting with a basic BSL course and I’m excited to learn and grow along the way.
    • Hi I'm Polly,  I learned very basic BSL when I was a childminder, and really enjoyed it. I currently work with the police and I am looking for a career change. The idea of becoming a BSL interpreter really appeals to me , but I am struggling to find the information I need. I understand the route to becoming an interpreter is long and costly and the accessibility for me in Lincolnshire is very limited. But any help anyone can give into how I can start my journey would be hugely appreciated.  Xx
    • 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.
    • 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!
    • 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.
