 As well, clear handshapes are much easier to read than fast fingerspelling. Do not concentrate on speed, as fast fingerspelling with poorly formed handshapes will be difficult to read. Try to fingerspell the whole word at the same speed, not speeding up or slowing down. A pause indicates the beginning of a new word, so if you suddenly slow down because a letter combination is difficult, your reader may think you are starting a new word, leading to misunderstanding. An exception to this sometimes appears at the beginning of a word. The first letter may be held for the length of a letter extra as a cue that the signer is about to start fingerspelling.

 When you are first learning to sign the letters, a good Bible text to practice with is Philippians 4:8, as it repeats the phrase "whatever is" several times. Since it is so repetitive, You should be able to quickly sign the "whatever is" portion to get your speed up. This verse contains all the letters of the alphabet except j, q, and z which can be learned afterwards. Learning a text such as this will also force you to learn each letter on its own (as opposed to always signing K after J). Once a text such as this one has been learned you may be surprised that you can finger spell just about anything.

 Ameslan, or '''Ame'''rican '''S'''ign '''Lan'''guage, has little connection to English grammar. This language was developed by the deaf community as an efficient and expressive method of communication. Signed English, on the other hand, was designed with a more direct connection to English grammar, the theory being that knowing it would make reading and writing in English easier. Signed English follows the same word order and syntax as spoken English, while the word order in Ameslan is conceptually-based.

 It is used with minor modification in Paraguay, the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. The Asian countries just listed modify the T, for the ASL T is considered obscene. Instead, they use the T of the [[w:Irish manual alphabet|Irish manual alphabet]], which is like an ASL X, but with the thumb tucked into the index finger (that is, the index finger wraps around the tip of the thumb). In Thailand, one indicates points on the left hand for the tone and vowel marks of the Thai alphabet, and aspiration is not indicated. The Paraguay alphabet is identical to ASL, except for the addition of the letter Ñ, which is an N swiveled at the wrist so that the fingers move side to side, and the letters LL and RR, which are L and R plus movement to the side.

 === Good form === <!--T:9-->
 * The hand should either remain in place while fingerspelling, or more often, drift slightly away from the midline in the manner of text being written out in the air; although, this is a subtle movement and should not be exaggerated.
 * If fingerspelling multiple words or entire sentences, there should be a very brief pause between terms so as to signify the beginning and ending of individual words.
 * Long nails or excessive jewelry can be distracting when watching fingerspelling and for this reason people who regularly use sign language usually avoid them.
 * When fingerspelling acronyms in American Sign Language, such as with FBI, NASA, or RID (Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf), the letters are often moved in a small circle to emphasize that they should not be read together as a word.

 =====Numbers===== <!--T:12-->
 Another mistake made by people faithfully following the pictures in most illustrations of the ASL fingerspelling alphabet is the signing of the cardinal numbers ''1 - 5'' with the palm facing out. The cardinal numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 should be signed palm in (towards the signer). This is in contrast with the cardinal numbers 6-9 which should be produced with the palm turned to face the person being addressed.
 <!--T:13-->
 As with the letter ''O'', the zero should not be turned to the side, but shown palm facing forward.
