How to Sign “Cours Pour Apprendre Le Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in the shape of a ‘C’ (a curved handshape) and place it in front of your body at chest height.
2. Move your ‘C’ hand shape slightly forward and then back towards your body, as if you are presenting something.
3. Next, transition to using both hands. Form the ‘L’ shape with both hands (thumb and index finger extended, other fingers curled). Place them side by side in front of your body.
4. Bring both ‘L’ hand shapes downward and then back up in a gentle, circular motion to signify “learning” or “taking course.”
5. Finish with a friendly facial expression to convey enthusiasm about learning sign language.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to use both hands when indicating the course, as this can make the sign unclear.
• Using a flat hand instead of the ‘C’ handshape at the beginning, which changes the meaning.
• Neglecting facial expressions, which are key in ASL for conveying tone and emotion.
