Hello, I'm Meredith, and today I'll review five signs that students tend to confuse.
Why? Because the hand shape is similar!
So I'll show you the differences so you don't mix them up.
Number one: the color GRAY. That's the "5" handshape: GRAY.
The fingers kind of pass through each other, see?
GRAY / GREY.
GRAY.
GRAY
Number... hold on, actually, I'm gonna add one more, so altogether six:
The sign "doesn't matter".
it's like gray, but the fingers are closed, the head shakes "no" -- "doesn't matter"
Or "not important", "no matter", "doesn't matter".
So, "gray", "doesn't matter".
Okay, moving on: FOOTBALL. This sport is also the "5" handshape but
now the fingers are not like this -- I'm gonna turn them up and interlock, so pick
them up and then collide. It's like two teams colliding.
Football
See? FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL
FOOTBALL.
Okay, a different sport: The handshape is again a "5",
start like this -- so we *start* in this position, and then the movement is:
WRESTLING. So "5"s again: WRESTLING.
WRESTLING
Again: WRESTLING, different from FOOTBALL.
WRESTLING
Okay, and if you live with someone, who is that? Your ROOMMATE!
So now we have the "5", but it's bent,
and the hands face in: ROOMMATE.
ROOMMATE
See? ROOMMATE.
Roommate.
It's again interlocked there, make sure. ROOMMATE.
And last, again this bent "5" handshape,
But now the movement is different: MACHINE, or FACTORY.
Interlock the fingers: MACHINE.
It's like gears are turning: MACHINE.
Machine
Okay? Let's review...
Again: GRAY, NO-MATTER,
FOOTBALL, WRESTLING,
ROOMMATE, and MACHINE.
So again we have the hand shapes are similar,
but the movements and the orientation of the palm is different.
All right, last time to review...
