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

The sign “heure langue des signes” refers to “time in sign language.” It’s often used in conversations about learning or discussing sign language, specifically when talking about the time dedicated to learning it or scheduling classes. This sign is helpful for both educators and students in the Deaf community.

How to Sign “Heure Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a “H” handshape, which means your index and middle fingers are extended while your other fingers are tucked in. Position this hand in front of your chest.
2. Move your “H” hand slightly in a circular motion to represent the concept of time.
3. Next, transition into the sign for “langue,” using both hands in a “L” shape. Place them near your mouth and move them outward, as if indicating communication or language.
4. Finally, sign “des signes” by using the “S” handshape. Hold your dominant hand in an “S” shape and move it away from your non-dominant “S” hand to symbolize signs.
5. Throughout the process, maintain an engaged facial expression to convey enthusiasm about sign language and the importance of time spent learning.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to maintain a clear and expressive facial expression, which can make the sign less engaging.
• Not using the correct handshapes, especially when transitioning from “H” to “L,” which can confuse the meaning.
• Rushing through the movements, which may lead to unclear signing and miscommunication.
