ASL vs BSL | Side by Side Comparison | American Sign Language and British Sign Language

We partnered up with Sign Say in the UK to show you a side by side comparison of ASL and BSL. Although there are many similarities in the different sign languages there are also many differences. See if you can spot the similarities and differences between the different signs.

We loved working with Sign Say. Show them some love by visiting their website (https://signsay.co.uk). They offer great free and paid courses that you can take online. If you're interested in learning BSL definitely check them out.
