    A good thing that I had to learn is that you don't need to tense your muscles or apply barely any pressure or force. just relax your hand and bring the chopsticks together gently and it should work out ^_^

    This was the best demonstration on how to use chopsticks that I've found on KZread so far. I really have to practice because I get cramps in my fingers. I have very long fingers and the chopsticks tend to slip and slide. However, I am determined to learn how to use these things so I don't feel so out ofmplace next time I go to a Chinese or Japanese restaurant where chopsticks are offered instead of silverware.

    I found the most difficult thing about learning to use chopsticks was not properly holding them in your hand so much as still being able to touch tip to tip as you rotate your wrist and arm in different degrees. I actually taught myself how to use chopsticks by pouring myself a small bowl of Cheerios and by picking up each individual Cheerio and eating it. I learned when you are not use to using chopsticks your hand get sore. Also, for myself, I can use chopsticks just as well in both hands which is weird because using a fork in my left hand feels a little off.

    Far from mastering it with 5 minutes, my fingers just wouldn't listen and was hard to get the 'sweet' spot where I don't squeeze the chopsticks too much and hold them naturally.

Just on a fluke, I tried it with my right hand and it just took a few days to get good at it. Btw, practice doing it with all sorts of items, not just food at mealtime.

    Chan Rin I was struggling to no end while watching this video. I pretty much gave up, stopped paying attention to my hands, and noticed that the tips met. Yay! The only difference was that I was more relaxed (from giving up). I'm guessing that one of the muscles between the thumb and pointing finger will prevent the tips from meeting when it is flexed (tense). Practice while you're watching tv next time, not when you're in public.

    This is how I've always held my chopsticks but recently I've been watching some Korean Variety shows and they don't hold their chopsticks this way. Some cross them in some way and others look like they're almost just holding them in a fist, yet they still manage to eat with them. I really wish I could learn that technique since it looks much more firm when they grab the food. They don't drop it.
