How to sign “Again” in BSL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the British sign. See the ASL sign for “Again” instead
Step by step
- Raise your dominant hand and form a V shape with your index and middle fingers.
- Hold the V hand in front of your body at chest height, palm facing sideways.
- Twist your wrist so the fingertips rock back and forth in small repeated swings.
- Keep the movement tight and rhythmic, repeating it two or three times.
- Pair it with a neutral expression and mouth 'again' as the V rocks.
Practice tip
The rocking V replays the same motion — repetition is built into the sign itself.
Fingerspell “Again”
Letter by letter with the two-handed BSL alphabet — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
