2. Move your hand slightly up and then down, indicating a level or scale.
3. Next, with your non-dominant hand, use a “5” handshape (fingers spread) and place it next to your dominant hand.
4. Bring your non-dominant hand up to meet your dominant hand, mimicking a rising level.
5. Maintain an expressive facial expression that conveys the importance of the concept of level or proficiency.
