How do you say your welcome in American sign language?

You're welcome in American Sign Language (ASL) is signed with a combination of two signs:

1. "YOU"

* Extend your dominant hand forward with your palm facing the person you're signing to.

* Slightly tilt your hand up, so it's angled like a pointing finger.

2. "WELCOME"

* Make a "W" shape with your dominant hand by bringing your thumb and pinky together, and extend your index, middle, and ring fingers.

* Bring your hand down towards your chest and then push it outward toward the person you're signing to.

To combine these two signs:

1. Sign "YOU" first.

2. Then, immediately after, sign "WELCOME."

It's important to note that the signs for "you" and "welcome" can be combined into a single, fluid movement. You can also add a slight nod of your head for emphasis.

Here are some additional tips:

* Practice your signs in front of a mirror. This will help you to see how you look and make any necessary adjustments.

* Use facial expressions. Facial expressions are an important part of ASL communication. When signing "You're welcome," you can smile or nod your head to show your appreciation.

* Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you are unsure about how to sign something, don't hesitate to ask someone who is fluent in ASL.

Remember, practice makes perfect! With a little time and effort, you'll be able to sign "You're welcome" with ease.
