Je Veux Apprendre La Langue Des Signes en Langue des Signes Française (LSF)

The sign “je veux apprendre la langue des signes” expresses a desire to learn sign language, reflecting a commitment to communication and inclusivity. This sign is commonly used in conversations about language learning, education, and connecting with the Deaf community.

How to Sign “Je Veux Apprendre La Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a flat handshape (like a “B” hand) near your chest, palm facing inwards. This represents “I” or “me.”
2. Move your hand slightly forward while maintaining the handshape to indicate the concept of “want.” Your facial expression should reflect eagerness or desire.
3. Next, transition to the sign for “to learn.” Use both hands in a “flat O” shape (like a closed fist but with your thumb out) and place them in front of your face. Move your hands outward while mimicking the motion of taking in knowledge.
4. For “sign language,” use both hands in a “S” shape (fist) and alternate placing them in front of your face, mimicking the gesture for “language.” You can also incorporate the sign for “sign” by moving your dominant hand in a circular motion in front of your face.
5. Combine all movements smoothly to express the full phrase, ensuring your facial expressions convey enthusiasm and interest throughout.
