How to sign “Two” in BSL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the British sign. See the ASL sign for “Two” instead
Step by step
- Hold your dominant hand up in front of your body at chest height.
- Extend the index and middle fingers straight up together in a V.
- Hold the hand steady so the two fingers are clearly separate.
- Let the fingers point straight upward without twisting the wrist.
- Mouth the word 'two' as you hold the handshape steady.
Practice tip
BSL numbers 1 to 5 are one-handed — two upright fingers is all 'two' needs.
Fingerspell “Two”
Letter by letter with the two-handed BSL alphabet — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
