To remember the difference between the signs "cold" and "winter," it would be most helpful to focus on the letter shape that you form your hands into when making each of the signs. This is because the distinct handshapes and movements associated with each sign can help you visually and kinesthetically differentiate them. Additionally, understanding how each sign is used in context can reinforce their meaning, but the handshapes provide a foundation for distinguishing the two.
