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

The sign “téter langue des signes” refers to the act of using sign language as a primary mode of communication. This sign is commonly used in discussions about communication strategies within the Deaf community or when introducing someone to sign language basics.

How to Sign “TéTer Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a ‘T’ handshape (a fist with the thumb extended along the side).
2. Place your ‘T’ hand in front of your chest, with the palm facing towards you.
3. Move your hand slightly away from your body and then back in a gentle arc, as if you are pulling something towards you.
4. While signing, maintain a neutral or friendly facial expression to convey openness and approachability.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to use a proper facial expression, which can make the sign feel less engaging.
• Using the wrong handshape; ensure that your dominant hand is in a ‘T’ shape to correctly convey the sign.
• Not moving your hand smoothly; the motion should be fluid and natural to resemble the concept of “pulling” language towards you.
