BSL and ASL are different languages — this is the American sign. See the BSL sign for “Wednesday” instead
Step by step
- Make the letter W with your dominant hand, three fingers spread upright.
- Hold the handshape up at chest height with your palm facing forward.
- Trace a small clockwise circle with the W handshape, moving from your elbow.
Practice tip
Initial-letter W plus a clockwise circle — the same weekday recipe as Monday through Friday.
