How to sign “Students” in ASL
BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Students” instead
Step by step
- Hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you, palm up, and keep it low.
- Pinch your dominant fingertips together over the palm and lift them toward your head.
- Open both hands into flat palms facing inward.
- Move both flat hands straight down past your torso to finish the PERSON ending.
- Keep the non-dominant hand down — lifting it toward the head would read as TEACHER.
Practice tip
Plural of “Student” — sign the base sign (often repeated) for more than one.
Fingerspell “Students”
Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
