How to sign “Interested” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Interested” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape both hands into loose five handshapes with the fingers softly spread.
- Hold both hands in front of your chest with the palms facing your body.
- Pull both hands inward toward your chest in one smooth motion.
- Close the fingertips toward the thumbs, finishing in eight handshapes.
- End the pull near the middle of your chest, palms still facing in.
- Raise your eyebrows and lean in slightly, as if showing real curiosity.
Practice tip
It is a two-handed LIKE pulled to the chest — sign it with one hand and it only means LIKE.

Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
