How to Sign “Langue Des Signes Maison”

1. Start with your dominant hand in the shape of an “L” by extending your thumb and index finger, while your other fingers curl into your palm.
2. Position your “L” hand near your mouth, palm facing inward.
3. Move your hand away from your mouth in a gentle arc, indicating the concept of “language” as you do this.
4. Now, take your non-dominant hand and form a flat “B” shape by keeping your fingers together and your palm down.
5. Place your non-dominant hand in front of you, slightly below the “L” hand, to represent “home.” You can use a slight inward movement to signify that this is a space.
6. Throughout the sign, maintain a friendly facial expression to convey warmth and openness.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to create a distinct separation between the signs for “language” and “home.” Each concept should be clear and separate.
• Using a flat hand for the “L” shape instead of forming it correctly, which can lead to confusion.
• Neglecting facial expressions, which are crucial in ASL for conveying tone and emotion.
