"And today we're learning easy simple things to say to a deaf person in their language. Now we already went over facial expression, how to introduce yourself with your name, "hi, my name is whatever", you're name is what"? Now afterward, you can say nice to meet you. So nice to meet you. So, flat hands, nice; these two fists, two fingers up, to meet you. "Nice to meet you", and shake their hand. Now you say, "my name is John. Your name what"? "Nice to meet you". Again, nice to meet you, shake their hand. Remember, we're excited to meet people, "hi, I'm John, nice to meet you", we're not going to do that. So, you want it to match your facial expression; "hi, nice to meet you", shake their hand. Easy, real basic."
