How to sign “June” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “June” instead
Step by step
- Form J by extending your pinky and tracing a small J in the air beside your cheek.
- Hold up your index and middle fingers together, pressed side by side, for U.
- Fold your fingers down and tuck your thumb between your middle and ring fingers for N.
- Curl your fingertips down over your thumb to shape the letter E.
- Spell at chest height with your palm facing forward, keeping the four letters tight and even.
Practice tip
Say the month in your head as you spell — each letter should land like a syllable of the word.
Fingerspell “June”
Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
Note: J and Z are signed with motion, not a static handshape.
