How to Sign “Je T Aime Langue Des Signes“

3. Gently move your hand away from your body in a small arc, maintaining the same handshape to indicate the expression of love.
4. For “langue des signes,” transition to the sign for “language” by placing your non-dominant hand (flat palm) in front of your dominant hand (in the “L” shape) and moving it slightly away from your body in a sweeping motion.
5. Finally, finish with the sign for “signs” by using both hands in a “S” handshape and moving them outward from your body, as if you’re signaling multiple signs.
