To sign international, form both hands into 'I' handshapes by extending only your pinky fingers and curling the rest. Hold your non-dominant hand steady in front of your chest with the palm facing inward. With your dominant hand, make a forward circular motion over and around the non-dominant hand, completing the circle by tapping the sides of your pinky fingers together.
Sign 'I', 'love', and 'try', then perform the circular 'I' handshape motion for 'international', and finish with the sign for 'food'.
Point to the person for 'she', sign 'international' by circling your dominant 'I' hand around your stationary non-dominant hand, and finish with the sign for 'student'.
Sign 'we' and 'take', sign 'international', and then use the 'ILY' handshape moving upward and away from you to sign 'airplane' or 'flight'.

Yes! The sign for 'international' uses the exact same circular movement as the sign for 'world'. The only difference is that 'international' uses 'I' handshapes (pinkies extended), whereas 'world' uses 'W' handshapes.
Yes, tapping the sides of your pinky fingers together at the end of the circular motion completes the sign and makes it clear to the person you are signing with.
The standard movement is for the dominant hand to circle forward, down, and back up toward your body to meet the non-dominant hand. Circling backward can look unnatural and confuse the viewer.
