Today we’ll learn Hi in sign language. Hi, like hey and ha, evolved from the Middle English word hy. No matter which language you are learning, you will definitely find this vocabulary early on in your sign language studies. So we’ll learn how to say Hi in BSL or British Sign Language.

Both ASL and BSL have different ways of saying Hi. But today, we’ll only be discussing BSL.

Hi in Sign Language

If you are skilled in sign language, you will grow to have a deep respect for deaf culture and be able to encourage others to understand and adopt sign language.

Check out how long it will take to learn BSL here.

So let’s get back to our topic. Now, please watch the video we have linked below.
