Apprendre Langue Des Signes Française Maman en Langue des Signes Française (LSF)

The sign “apprendre langue des signes française maman” is used to express the concept of learning French Sign Language, particularly in the context of a mother teaching or sharing this knowledge. It’s commonly used in conversations about education, family dynamics, and the importance of communication within the Deaf community.

How to Sign “Apprendre Langue Des Signes FrançAise Maman“

1. Start with your dominant hand in the shape of the letter ‘A’ (a fist with the thumb resting on the side).
2. Place the ‘A’ hand near your forehead, palm facing inwards, and move it slightly away from your head to indicate “learning.” This movement should be small and controlled.
3. Next, transition to the sign for “langue des signes.” Use both hands, forming the ‘L’ handshape (index finger up, thumb out) and place them together in front of you, then separate them outward slightly, mimicking the concept of language or communication.
4. For “française,” keep your dominant hand in the ‘F’ handshape (index finger and thumb forming a circle while the other fingers are tucked in) and move it from your chin outward, indicating the French aspect.
5. Finally, to sign “maman,” use your dominant hand in a flat ‘B’ shape (fingers spread and together) and tap it on your chin once.
