00:15Okay. Now we're going to talk about your paper hand and

00:20Your pen hand and a lot of the time your paper hand is either gonna be up straight like that or it's gonna be flat

00:26Okay, we'll do other things as well, but that's either

00:30Flat and your pen hand often time you're going to be using your index finger

00:34Okay, so a you put up your paper hand bend your thumb slightly in

00:39index to thumb a a

00:42B fingers together

00:45It is like a love heart or pair of binoculars. If you want to be a child, okay back to being professional C

00:53D

00:55E is

00:57Bending the index finger. That's it tip of their E F is pen to on top of paper to

01:05G is pen fist on top of paper fist. If you imagine that's what a squiggly G looks like

01:10Yeah, it is H brush from the heel of that paper hands to the fingertips. I

01:16Back up again index finger and bend in the middle finger this time

01:53three fingers for M

01:55two fingers for N

01:58Because if you think about how it's written L is written with one line

02:01Yeah, and M has got three lines and then M has got two. So that's where it's one three two

02:07It's like a sequence. Isn't it the way you go through it and it's also visual. So it's like how it would be written

02:12So that's one three two, so back up to
