How to Sign “Langue Des Signes Université”

1. Start with your dominant hand in the “L” handshape (thumb and index finger extended, other fingers curled in). Place it near your mouth.
2. Move your “L” handshape outward from your mouth, away from your face, while maintaining the shape.
3. Next, transition to a “U” handshape (index and middle finger extended, other fingers curled) with your dominant hand.
4. Bring the “U” handshape down to your non-dominant hand, which should be flat and palm up, representing the concept of a university.
5. Maintain a neutral facial expression, but feel free to show enthusiasm to express the importance of education.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to maintain the correct handshape can lead to confusion. Ensure you have the “L” and “U” shapes right.
• Rushing the movement can make the sign unclear. Take your time to transition smoothly between handshapes.
• Neglecting facial expressions can make the sign feel flat or less engaging. Remember, facial expressions are important in ASL.
