How to Sign “Exposé Sur La Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a flat handshape (like a ‘B’ hand). Position it near your mouth.
2. Move your hand outward from your mouth while slightly bending at your elbow, as if you are presenting something.
3. Next, use your non-dominant hand in a flat handshape as well, placing it parallel to your dominant hand above it.
4. Gently move both hands outwards, away from your body, to emphasize the idea of sharing or exposing information.
5. Maintain an engaging facial expression to convey enthusiasm and importance about the sign language topic.

Common Mistakes
