How to sign “Time” in BSL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the British sign. See the ASL sign for “Time” instead
Step by step
- Hold your non-dominant arm in front of you with the wrist facing up.
- Tap the top of that wrist twice with your dominant index finger.
Practice tip
Tap where a watch would sit — the sign points at the wrist as if checking the time.
