American Sign Language: "begin" or "start" The sign for begin uses an index finger to represent a type of "key." Hold your non-dominant hand out in a flat handshape with the fingers together except for the middle and index finger. Place the dominant index finger at the base of the non-dominant index and middle fingers and twist the dominant index hand. Think of starting a car by turning a key.  BEGIN  or START: Animation: For another animation see:  BEGIN You can learn American Sign Language (ASL) online at American Sign Language University ™ ASL resources by Lifeprint.com  ©  Dr. William Vicars Want to help support ASL University?  It's easy:  DONATE (Thanks!)
