Hi! Let's learn how to say hello and introduce ourselves in American Sign Language!
In ASL, we use hand signs to talk. To say hello, wave your hand near your head like a friendly wave.
To sign 'MY', place your flat palm against your chest. This shows something belongs to you.
To sign 'NAME', tap two fingers on top of two fingers twice. It looks like making a small 'X' shape with your fingers.
