How to Sign “Histoire Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a flat handshape (like a “B” handshape) and place it near your forehead.
2. Move your hand forward and slightly downward while maintaining the flat handshape. This motion represents the concept of “history” or “telling.”
3. Next, switch to using both hands to form the signs for “langue” (language). Use a “L” handshape with both hands, placing them in front of you as if you are framing a picture of the language.
4. Finally, combine the signs for “des” and “signes.” Use a “5” handshape to represent “signs” and move your hands outward from your body, as if demonstrating different signs branching out.
5. Throughout the sign, maintain an engaged facial expression, showing enthusiasm about the topic of sign language history.
