To sign "hamburger," cup both hands as if you are holding a large, thick hamburger. Clasp your hands together in front of your chest with your dominant hand on top and your non-dominant hand on the bottom. Then, reverse their positions so your non-dominant hand is on top and your dominant hand is on the bottom, clasping them together again.
Sign "I," "WANT," "HAMBURGER," "FOR," and "DINNER." Use the cupped, flipping hand motion for "hamburger" right after bringing your hands toward you for "want."
Sign "YOU," "LIKE," and "HAMBURGER." Because this is a yes/no question, remember to raise your eyebrows and lean slightly forward while signing "hamburger" at the end of the sentence.
Sign "LET'S," "MAKE," and "HAMBURGER." You will transition smoothly from the twisting fists used in the sign for "make" directly into the cupped, alternating hands of "hamburger."

No, they are slightly different. For "cheeseburger," you typically sign "cheese" first (rubbing the heel of your dominant hand on the palm of your non-dominant hand) and then immediately sign "hamburger."
Most signers naturally start with their dominant hand on top, but it is perfectly acceptable to start with either hand. The most important part of the sign is that the hands switch their top-and-bottom positions.
Yes! This sign is used interchangeably for both "hamburger" and "burger." If you are referring to a specific type of burger, like a veggie burger, you would simply sign "vegetable" before signing "hamburger."
