Vhs Düsseldorf Gebärdensprache in Deutscher Gebärdensprache (DGS)

The sign for “VHS Düsseldorf Gebärdensprache” refers to the VHS (Volkshochschule) in Düsseldorf which offers courses in sign language. This sign is often used in educational contexts, especially when discussing learning opportunities for the Deaf community in Düsseldorf.

How to Sign “Vhs DüSseldorf GebäRdensprache“

1. Start with both hands in a flat “B” handshape (palm down) to represent “VHS”. Place your dominant hand slightly in front of your non-dominant hand.
2. Move your dominant hand in a small circular motion to indicate the “VHS” concept, showing that it’s a place of learning.
3. For “Düsseldorf”, use a “D” handshape (index finger extended) and trace the shape of “Düsseldorf” in the air. This can be done with a slight up-and-down motion to emphasize the city name.
4. For “Gebärdensprache”, use both hands in a “G” handshape (thumb and index finger extended) and bring them together in front of your chest, then move them outward slightly, as if demonstrating the spread of sign language.
5. Throughout the sign, maintain an engaging facial expression to show enthusiasm for learning and the importance of sign language.

Common Mistakes

• Some learners may confuse the handshapes, using a closed fist instead of the correct “B” and “G” shapes.
• Not maintaining the appropriate facial expressions can lead to a lack of clarity in conveying the message.
• Omitting the city name or rushing through the sign can make it unclear; take your time to articulate each part.
