How to sign “Good” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Good” instead
Step by step
- Make a flat hand with your dominant hand, fingers together and straight.
- Touch your lips lightly with the fingertips of the flat hand.
- Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm up.
- Move the dominant hand forward and down into the open upturned palm.
- Finish with the dominant hand resting in the other palm, both palms up.
- Smile warmly as you sign it, matching the positive feeling of the word.
