I can read it really well and use your recommended site to practice but I need more practice with expressive finger spelling. Practice common letter combinations until you can do them without thinking.

Say them in your mind the way they are pronounced in english at the same time as you spell them.

Never think the "individual letters. In general if you are first entering the Deaf community and have not yet been given a name sign I recommend you spell your name.

Then after you've associated with us sufficiently you will probably be given a name sign by your new Deaf friends or associates. If your English name also happens to be a general English word your new name sign may or may not end up being related to the ASL sign for the English concept.

In actual use, the thumb of the dominant "C" hand was touched to the upper left chest area and then to the right shoulder area by right-handed signers.

Her name sign moves from one side of the nose to the other as it changes from an "R" into an "A. For example, the letters "O" and "E" might only actively use the index finger, the middle finger, and the thumb.

Actually, your answer is right. We do "pause" when transitioning between two parts of a fingerspelled concept. It is a challenge for newbies however to recognize such transitions because the pauses tend to be very brief and or involve a very small lateral to the side movement.

So your example is a bit off. You, as a skilled reader of English, easily catch that "space" which takes up no more than one "letter" width. While the letter "E" is typically shown in textbooks as the four fingers bent with the fingertips held even with each other and the index, middle, and ring fingertips touching the thumb -- other versions of the letter "E" are also common.

Bryan Eldredge spelled the word "keynote" as in "keynote" speaker". At the end of the word "keynote" he is clearly using a version of the letter "E" that rests only the index finger and middle finger on the top surface of the bent thumb.

Also, when spelling long, unusual, or complex words in ASL it is common but not required to use the index finger of the non-dominant hand to point to or touch the wrist of the dominant hand.
