How to Sign “Apprendre Le Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a flat handshape (like a “B” hand) and place it in front of your forehead.
2. Move your hand forward slightly while turning your palm outward. This represents the idea of “learning” or taking in knowledge.
3. Next, transition to the sign for “language.” Use both hands in a flat handshape (like a “B”) and move them apart as if showing the concept of multiple languages or forms of communication.
4. Finally, make the sign for “signs” by using your dominant hand to form the letter “S” and moving it slightly in front of you, indicating the signs of a language.
5. Throughout the sign, maintain a friendly and engaged facial expression to convey enthusiasm and interest in learning.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to use facial expressions, which are key in ASL to convey meaning and emotion.
• Confusing the movement for “learning” with other signs—ensure the motion is forward and upward to signify gaining knowledge.
• Not using both hands effectively when signing “language,” which can lead to a less clear representation of the concept.
