Hello! Learning to say hi in American Sign Language is fun and easy.
In ASL, you wave your hand to say hello. You place your hand near your forehead and move it out.

To sign HELLO, start with your hand at your temple. Then wave it out like a salute.
To sign MEET, bring both index fingers together. It shows two people coming together.
