How to Sign “Histoire Courte Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a flat shape, palm facing in. This represents the “histoire” (story).
2. Move your hand forward and slightly upward, as if you are illustrating the unfolding of a story.
3. Next, use both hands to create the sign for “courte” (short). Position your hands in front of your body, palms facing each other and fingers pointing to the sides, then bring them together quickly, indicating brevity.
4. To sign “langue des signes,” form your non-dominant hand into a flat shape. Then, with your dominant hand in a “B” handshape, tap your dominant hand on the fingertips of your non-dominant hand to signify “language.”
5. Maintain an engaging facial expression throughout the sign to convey the storytelling nature and excitement.

Common Mistakes
