How to sign E in ASL

Letter E5 of 26Held still

Curl your fingertips down toward your palm and tuck your thumb under them.

Hold E steady for a moment, with your palm facing the person you're signing to.

Left-handed? Sign with your dominant hand; the shapes are the same, mirrored.

Don't mix it up

A: In E the fingertips bend down to rest on the thumb, which lies across the palm; A is a tight fist with the thumb up at the side.
S: S is a tight fist with the thumb across the outside; in E the fingertips bend down toward the thumb, so the nails show.

Make the handshape and hold it. Turn on your camera and it checks your handshape as you go. The video stays on your device.

E is in Letters A–F. ASL a Day brings it back tomorrow to sign from memory, then again just before you'd forget. Five minutes a day.
