Hello Ingvild, Valerie and Everyone,

thanks for sharing this gif.
Using the beginning and endposition for teaching is a good idea . It helps
to understand a specific example which could be generalized to other signs .

I thought of a quarter -circle - rotation .movement counter.clockwise when
I looked at sign # 1. I asked myself whether there is a different arrow for
this quarter - circle. This arrow looks like 180° circular movement.

I compared the arrows and explanations lessons 086 and 089 (this one) . I
have to ask for the rotation movement symbol - they seem almost the same to
me in both examples - but the rotations arenīt ! ??

I understand - the information about the correct rotation we get from the
two positions - so in this case we have to add the endposition - otherwise
we wouldnīt know how far the rotation is meant ????

I try to understand your description less089 #1
... the thumb painting the path of a curve toward the chest ... (closed
fist - ok. thumb to the left turns towards the chest ) -- and then side
no - - I donīt understand that !) ;-(( itīs only a quarter of a circle -
?


I love your email-lessons -- thanks for that

Stefan ;-)


(mistakes are our friends! So please allow me to ask - if I canīt follow )





I learned a lot.
