Lautgebarden
I have found the word Lautgebarden (with Umlaut, but I do not have it on my keyboard) in a school book. I do not understand what that word means. Can somebody help me?

Question

Answer

If you don't have Umlauts on your keyboard, please replace them with ae/oe/ue (and ss for ß).

Answer

"Laut" can mean "sound" and "Gebarden"/"Gebärden" are movements. I instantly have to think of hands when I read this because deaf people use "Gebärdensprache" - speak with hands.

Answer

It is a teaching concept for kids in elementry school. They are learning the spelling of words by doing certain gestures according to a letter. Each letter of the alphabet has a gesture and they gesture the spelling of a word.
