Hold M steady for a moment, with your palm facing the person you're signing to.

Left-handed? Sign with your dominant hand; the shapes are the same, mirrored.

Don't mix it up

N: M tucks the thumb under three fingers; N under two.
A: In M the thumb is tucked under three fingers; in A it stays outside the fist.

Make the handshape and hold it. Turn on your camera and it checks your handshape as you go. The video stays on your device.

M is in Letters M–R. ASL a Day brings it back tomorrow to sign from memory, then again just before you'd forget. Five minutes a day.
