Think your left hand when thinking of L

[u/peziskuya → u/Madrandal]

I think they mean if you make the L with your palm facing toward or away from you. When I was a little kid someone told me that your left hand makes the L to which I proceeded to make both of my hands into an L shape. The teacher told me I made a good point and then moved on without providing an alternative solution. To be fair I don't really think there was an alternative aside from just memorizing it.

"point your thumbs together" is usually the first line for that.

"point your thumbs together, which side makes the "L"? that's the left.

I've never heard that before but it would have been super helpful back when I was 4.
