French ‘Sign Language’ Crash Course

French gestures in 3 easy lessons.

Some comments from Gael, a French colleague of mine: About counting in- or excluding the thumb: “I think you can count on your fingers in another way if you want. I am not so sure that french people are unable to notice it.”

More remarks
* I am not so sure about this “comme ci, comme ca” gesture
* I have never seen the “Je le jure !” gesture and would not understand it. I know several other way to express the same idea.
* This “Rien !” gesture is a bit ambiguous. I am not convinced everybody would understand it that way.
* There is several ways to express “Ça pue !”
