  1. say ‘you’ -point at her
    then say ‘beautiful’ -hold your hand flat with the palm facing yourself, and make a counter-clockwise movement around your face, starting at your forehead and ending at your chin. when your hand reaches your chin pull all your fingers together and pull away from your face just a couple inches.

    i know a guy who proposed to his girlfriend in sign language! he got a friend to video tape it, then he took her to a movie theatre and they played it at the end of the show!!

  2. if i remember right, you is pointing at the person, and beautiful is taking your hand, in an open position with the palm facing you, and rotating it from right to left, keeping the wrist/palm the center of rotation. looking it up on youtube might be faster….

  3. Step1-Practice signing the words. The first word in this phrase is “You” or “U.” The word You is formed by pointing out toward the person(s) with your pointer finger. Form the letter U using your pointer and middle fingers, press them together and point them upward while the other three fingers are curled into your palm.
    Step2-Form “Are.” Rotate your hand to the palm side, while forming the letter R with your fingers. To form R, twist your middle finger on top of your pointer finger while the other three fingers are curled into your palm.
    Step3-Finish your phrase. “Beautiful” is made by rotating your right hand around your face counter-clockwise. Begin with your fingers closed over your thumb, hand placed at your lips. As you rotate the hand, open it to extend your five fingers with the palm side turned in towards your nose. End with the hand back in its original position, resting at the lip line.
    Step4-Add flow and movement to the words. Practice the three words together and in front of a mirror, so that you get a nice smooth motion to your compliment. Now you are ready to share it with someone.
    Got it?
