Step 3Minding our manners
It is always a GOOD thing to be polite. So let's touch on that for a moment.
Thank you: take your right hand, open flat, fingers together, palm towards the signer, and place the finger tips against the chin just below the lips and move from there outward and downward until the palm is flat and face up, perpendicular to the floor.
If someone would sign Thank You to you, you would of course, wish to reply with YOU'RE WELCOME.
This is signed by taking the right hand, like before, palm inward and fingers upward and together, except, that you will be signing a W (index finger and next two only, with the little finger and thumb tucked in), and repeating the same motion and positions as Thank You only with the W.
Please: take the open right hand, palm facing the signer, fingers pointed towards the left side of your body, near the heart area, and move the hand in a circular motion, clockwise (like you were rubbing you stomach), one time around.
A few pronouns are probably needed here too.
I is signed by signing the letter I and moving it towards the signer until it reaches the middle of the upper chest. This distinguishes the letter I from I as in myself.
You is signed simply by pointing outwards towards the other person, closed fist except for the pointing index finger.
One more in this step, since it seemed to be another desired or requested sign, let's look at the sign for DOCTOR:
Right hand, palm upwards and open / flat but facing out from the signer, place the left hand signing the M sign fingertips on the wrist of the right hand, and move the entire sign up and downwards repeatedly (this literally means medical assistance).
