Not so fast. Take the Fingerspelling Quiz, also clickable off the homepage. The quiz comes in the form of an animated hand that spells out words - it's your job to figure out what's been spelled. Submit your guess, and the site will instantly tell you whether you're correct. Once you've got fingerspelling within your grasp, it's time to sign.
Signs are shortcuts for words.
Each word on the site is illustrated with a short film clip of a person performing the sign. If you want to tackle the signs by category, like colors or animals, you can click category choices on the left. HandSpeak also offers a great fingerspelling dictionary. Here you can get a pic plus a few written tips that'll help any motivated soul reach fingerspelling perfection.
