Certificat Langue Des Signes en Langue des Signes Française (LSF)

The sign for “certificat langue des signes” refers to a certificate in sign language, commonly used in educational contexts or professional settings where proof of proficiency in sign language is required. This sign is essential for those involved in teaching or learning sign language, as well as for interpreters and other professionals in the Deaf community.

How to Sign “Certificat Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in the shape of a flat “C” (fingers extended and together, thumb out). Position it near your chest.
2. Move your hand slightly downward and outward, as if you are presenting something.
3. Next, use your non-dominant hand to mimic holding a document. This hand should be in a flat “B” shape (fingers extended and together, palm facing up) positioned under your dominant hand.
4. As you finish the movement, give a nod or slight smile to convey the importance of the certificate.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to use both hands; some learners may only use their dominant hand instead of incorporating the non-dominant hand to represent holding a certificate.
• Not maintaining a clear facial expression; facial expressions are key in ASL for conveying tone and importance.
• Rushing through the sign, which can lead to unclear communication. It’s essential to perform the movements deliberately.
