To sign "years," form both hands into "S" shapes (fists). Hold your non-dominant fist steady in front of your body. Place your dominant fist resting on top of the non-dominant one. Next, move your dominant fist forward, circling it completely around the stationary fist, and bring it back to rest on top.
Sign "two" and then perform the sign for "years" to indicate the duration of your learning.
Sign "happy," then "new," and finish with the sign for "year" by circling your dominant fist around your non-dominant fist.

Yes, your dominant hand should always be the one making the circular motion. Your non-dominant hand acts as the stationary base.
For 'next year,' the dominant fist starts on the base hand and points forward. For 'last year,' the dominant hand starts on the base hand and points backward over your shoulder, showing time moving into the past.
Usually, no. In ASL, age is typically expressed using a specific 'age' sign where you pull the number down from your chin, rather than signing the number and then the word 'years.'
