How to Sign "Practice" in American Sign Language (ASL)

Make your hands into fists with thumbs out and rotate them in circles in front of you - that's how you sign "practice" in ASL. The movement copies how we do things over and over when we practice, showing the basic meaning behind this important sign. You can change the sign a bit based on what kind of practice you're talking about, like making it look more like you're playing a guitar or piano. The sign shows up all the time in schools, sports, and when people talk about getting better at things. Practicing is super important in deaf culture since learning new signs takes lots of time and effort.
