How to sign “Visit” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Visit” 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 V handshapes, index and middle fingers extended.
- Hold the V hands up near your eyes, fingertips pointing forward.
- Move both hands outward and forward away from your face together.
- Keep both palms facing inward toward your face as the hands travel.
- Aim the movement toward the person or place being visited.
Practice tip
The sign is directional — where the hands travel shows who visits whom.
