How to Sign “Université Bordeaux Montaigne Langue Des Signes“

2. Position your “U” hand near your forehead, palm facing out, and move it slightly forward to indicate the word “université.”
3. Next, transition to signing “Bordeaux.” Use the letter “B.” Place your dominant hand in a flat shape with the palm facing down, and wiggle it slightly from side to side as you spell out “Bordeaux” in fingerspelling.
4. For “Montaigne,” continue using the same flat “B” handshape, and again wiggle it slightly while fingerspelling “Montaigne.”
5. Now, move to “langue.” Use your non-dominant hand to form a flat handshape (like a “B”), and with your dominant hand, use the index finger to tap the palm of your non-dominant hand twice.
6. Finally, for “des signes,” use both hands to form the letter “S” (a fist with the thumb on the side). Start with the dominant “S” hand on top of the non-dominant “S” hand, and move them outward in a small arc while slightly shaking them.
