To sign 'interesting,' start with your dominant hand near your face, around your nose or mouth, with your fingers spread open and your palm facing toward you. Move your hand forward and slightly down, away from your face. As you move your hand, bring your thumb and middle finger together to pinch them, forming an '8' handshape.
To sign this, first establish the topic by signing 'book.' Then, use the sign for 'interesting' while keeping an engaged, positive facial expression to show your enthusiasm for what you read. You can emphasize the sign by making the forward motion slightly larger.
Start by pointing to yourself to indicate 'I', then sign 'movie.' Follow this up with the sign for 'interesting.' Be sure to nod slightly and keep your eyes focused and engaged to convey that the film truly held your attention from start to finish.
Begin by signing 'you', 'learn', and 'ASL', then finish the sentence with 'interesting' (which also functions as 'interested'). Since this is a yes/no question, it is crucial to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly while holding the final sign to indicate you are asking.

Yes! While the video demonstrates the very common one-handed version, 'interesting' is frequently signed using both hands. When using two hands, the non-dominant hand simply mimics the dominant hand's exact motion and handshape, but it starts slightly lower, near the upper chest area.
Both signs use the exact same '8' handshape and forward pinching motion, but their starting locations are different. 'Interesting' begins higher up, near your nose or face. In contrast, the sign for 'like' starts lower down, with your middle finger and thumb touching the center of your chest.
Yes, in American Sign Language, the sign for 'interesting' is also used to mean 'interested.' The meaning is easily understood based on the context of your sentence. You can use this exact same sign whether you are saying 'That book is interesting' or 'I am interested in that book.'
