How to sign "class" in ASL

How to Sign "Class"

“Class” is signed by making a “C” handshape with both hands and circling them toward each other:

  • Form the letter “C” with both hands (fingers curved, thumb opposite).
  • Hold them parallel, palms facing inward.
  • Move both hands in a circular motion toward each other until fingertips meet.

Tips

  • Think of two “C”s forming a circle, representing the group in a class.
  • Keep movements symmetrical and intentional.

Common Mistakes

  • Using “O” or flat hands instead of “C” — handshape is crucial.
  • Circling too widely or too quickly — it should be smooth and focused.

Think: “C‑shape circles meet — that’s a class.”
