How to Sign “Langue Des Signes Education Nationale”

1. Start with your dominant hand in a “B” handshape (flat palm). Position it at your chest level.
2. Move the “B” hand slightly forward while maintaining the palm facing outwards. This motion represents the concept of language.
3. Next, transition to the sign for “education.” Use your non-dominant hand as a flat palm facing up (similar to a table) and place your dominant hand above it in a “B” handshape.
4. Gently tap your dominant hand on the non-dominant hand a couple of times to signify teaching or education.
5. Finally, sign “Nationale” by using the dominant hand in an “N” handshape and placing it in front of your chest, moving it slightly outward to imply importance or national identity.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to use facial expressions that convey importance; facial expressions enhance the meaning in ASL.
• Not maintaining the correct handshape, particularly when transitioning to the “B” handshape for “education.”
• Misplacing the sign for “Nationale,” which should be performed near the chest to signify national identity.
