Practice tip: Suppose your practice partner asks you if you live in an apartment.  If you don't live in an apartment instead of just saying "no" you could you tell him you "live in a house."
Later if he asks you if you live in a dorm, instead of answering "no" you could say, "not yet" or "before" or "I want (to)" or some other information filled answer.

Review: 
EQUAL-[fair, level]

Indexing on the Non-Dominant Hand:
You can use your non-dominant hand (that's the  left-hand for six out of seven people) as a way to talk about your family or friends.  For example, as you introduce each of your brothers and sisters you can "index" them on the non-dominant hand by pointing to different fingers for each sibling. Start with the oldest first and work your way down.

Classifier: 4
(CL4) This sign is used to represent multiples of items that are arranged in a certain way. CL4 can be used for things like: hair (styles), curtains, a line of people, lines on a shirt or a piece of paper, etc.
Visit the Classifier 4 page for examples.

Note: “worse vs times”
“Worse/worst” is a single movement
“Times” is a single movement
The only difference is the facial expression and the rest of the sentence.

Notes: “more than”
To express the concept of “more than” can either sign a combination of the two separate signs “MORE” and “THAN” or you can use the single sign “MORE_THAN.”
