This page is designed to assist
in learning British Sign Language (BSL) fingerspelling. There are very few
sites on the world wide web which provide clear pictures of the BSL alphabet.
There are some good ones, but they often comprise line drawings which have
the advantage of being clearer, but the disadvantage of being less natural.
*
There are two main pages here. One
shows the BSL alphabet from the perspective of the person producing the signs
- the perspective most often given on fingerspelling cards or websites. This
is the Expressive Fingerspelling page. The other is from the perspective of
somebody observing the signs being produced, which is more useful for improving
receptive skills. This is the Receptive Fingerspelling page.
