How to use this course:

You can either view each picture below or See Pictures in Full View in a slideshow format.

You can also download our complimentary ABC Fingerspelling Chart that you can print out and study wherever you go.

Each letter handsign is stationary (does not move) with the exception of the letters J and Z.
For the letters J and Z, an arrow is pictured to demonstrate the proper hand movement.
Each picture is shown from the reader’s perspective. In other words, all signs face outward from your chest, as shown in the pictures.
The best tool for practicing your fingerspelling is to use a mirror. As you learn each letter, sign in front of a mirror and make sure your handshape is the same as shown in the pictures.
Learn and practice together with a friend! Fingerspell with your friends and improve your ability to sign and read fingerspell.
