The last sign on the first row I can sign, but I believe that it is not written correctly. Should there not be a left and right arrow on the two "2" hands moving up the body? I, myself, once used this variant on any parallel movement of two hands, but the hands do not touch each other. <div><br></div><div>Is this taught consistently so that one will not confuse the student? <br><br>Charles Butler<br>

book into Arabic, but using Tunisian and French Signlanguage!!!!</div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:tahoma, 'new york', times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:tahoma, 'new york', times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;">Thank you all, and special thank to Steve and Val, as I offer this exam to dear brother Abu Sheira in Saudi Arabia!!!!</div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:tahoma, 'new york', times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;">Blessings!!!</div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:tahoma, 'new york', times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;"><br></div></div></div><img id="yiv857430774f17897c6-f85b-41bb-b93c-a6dd9b70de67" height="1444" width="1037" src="cid:1.1880999107@web163401.mail.gq1.yahoo.com"><img
