1. The "Thank You" Sign:
* Handshape: Your dominant hand forms a "5" handshape (all fingers extended) and your non-dominant hand forms a "flat O" handshape (fingers curved like a "C").
* Movement: Move your dominant hand from your chest outward, then down in a slight arc towards the person you are thanking. Keep your non-dominant hand still in front of your chest.
2. The "Thank You" Sign with a "You" Sign:
* Handshape: This is the same as the first sign, but you add the sign for "you" at the end. The "you" sign uses a "Y" handshape (thumb and pinky extended, other fingers tucked) and is signed by tapping your index finger to your chest twice.
* Movement: Follow the movement of the first sign, then finish with the "you" sign at the end.
Tips:
* Facial expressions: Use a slight smile and a nod of your head to emphasize your gratitude.
* Context: The specific sign you choose might vary depending on the situation and the person you're thanking.
