To sign "grilled", you will fingerspell the word G-R-I-L-L-E-D. Hold your dominant hand comfortably in front of your shoulder or chest with your palm facing outward. Form each letter sequentially: start with "G", transition to "R", "I", and "L". To show the double "L", slightly bounce or slide the "L" handshape to the side. Finish by forming the letters "E" and "D". Keep your arm steady and let your fingers do the work for clear spelling.

No, clarity is much more important than speed. Focus on forming each letter clearly and smoothly transitioning between them. Speed will naturally develop with practice.
