How to Sign “Juste Une P’tite Chanson Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a flat handshape (like the ASL letter “B”) and place it near your chin.
2. Make a gentle, outward motion away from your chin as if you are offering something.
3. Next, use your non-dominant hand to mimic a musical note shape by forming an “L” handshape (index finger up, thumb out) and placing it above the dominant hand.
4. While performing the sign, maintain a cheerful facial expression, as this adds to the playful nature of the sign.

Common Mistakes
