How to Sign “Langue Des Signes Explication”

1. Start with your dominant hand in a ‘flat’ handshape (like a flat ‘B’ hand) and hold it in front of your face, palm facing inward.
2. Move your hand slightly outward from your body while simultaneously pivoting it so that the palm faces slightly upward.
3. As you finish the outward motion, raise your eyebrows to indicate that you are explaining or giving information.
4. For added emphasis, you can use your non-dominant hand to gesture along with your dominant hand to reinforce the concept.

Common Mistakes

• Some learners may forget to use facial expressions, which are crucial in ASL for conveying meaning and emphasis.
• Others may not properly execute the outward movement of the dominant hand, leading to unclear communication.
• Using the wrong handshape, such as a fist instead of a flat hand, can also cause confusion.
