How to Sign “Ecole Langue Des Signes“

2. Move your hand slightly forward and away from your forehead, maintaining the flat handshape.
3. Next, bring both hands together in front of your chest, with the dominant hand on top, and form a “C” handshape with both hands.
4. Now, pull the hands apart slightly while keeping the “C” shape, indicating the concept of “language.”
