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

The sign “langue des signes bisous” translates to “sign language kisses” in English and is often used to express affection or friendship in a playful manner among friends and family in the Deaf community. This sign can be a fun way to convey warmth and love, especially in informal settings.

How to Sign “Langue Des Signes Bisous”

1. Start with your dominant hand in the shape of a “B” handshape (your fingers together and your thumb extended outward).
2. Position your hand near your lips, with your palm facing inward.
3. Move your hand away from your lips while simultaneously leaning slightly forward.
4. As you move your hand, make a soft blowing motion as if sending a kiss.
5. Maintain a friendly facial expression to convey warmth and affection.

Common Mistakes

• Fingers not together: It’s important to keep the fingers together in the “B” handshape for clarity.
• Incorrect hand position: Ensure your hand starts near your lips, as starting too far away can change the meaning.
• Lack of facial expression: The expression plays a key role in conveying the intended affection; a neutral face can make the sign feel less warm.
