How to Sign “Documentaire Sur La Langue Des Signes

  1. Start with your dominant hand in a flat handshape (like the letter “B”) and place it in front of your forehead, palm facing down.
  2. Move your hand away from your forehead while transitioning to a “D” handshape (index finger extended, other fingers curled into the palm) to represent “documentary.” Make a gentle forward motion.
  3. Next, use both hands to sign “la langue des signes.” Start with both hands in a flat “B” shape positioned at your chest, palms facing each other.
  4. Form the sign for “language” by moving your dominant hand slightly outward while maintaining the “B” shape. This represents the concept of language.
  5. To complete the sign, transition into the sign for “signs” by forming a “D” handshape again, and moving it slightly in front of your face. This visually connects the sign language aspect.
