Common Mistakes to Avoid When Signing "I" in ASL

• Incorrect Finger Curl – Ensure the pinky is extended and the other fingers are curled fully into the palm.
• Thumb Placement – The thumb should be relaxed and not extending out of place.
• Palm Orientation – Keep the palm facing outward, not inward or downward.
• Hand Too Relaxed or Tense – Keep the hand in a relaxed but clear position, without being too stiff or loose.
