The sign for "help" is made by closing your right hand. 

Place your right hand on the outstretched palm of your left hand. 

Raise both hands. 

Note: Many people make this sign by placing the left "s" or "a" hand on the right "b" palm.

Note: This sign is directional.
 If you start it near yourself and move it toward someone else in and up, forward, then down arch it means "I will help you" or "I helped you" or (if you do it with raised eyebrows) "Do you want me to help you?"  You don't need separate signs for "ME" and "YOU."

"you-HELP-me"
If you start the sign near the other person and bring it toward yourself it means:  "You help me." If you do it with raised eyebrows, "Will you help me?" 

"he-HELP-me"
If you are talking to someone in front of you and start the sign off to the right of you and bring it nearer to you it means, "he-HELP-me."

The sign for "thank you" is made by starting with the fingers of your dominant hand near your lips.  Your hand should be a "flat hand."  Move your hand forward and a bit down in the direction of the person you are thanking.  Smile.

 

 


Note: If you use two hands with this sign it means you are "very" grateful.  This sign can also be interpreted to mean "good." For more information see the "good" page.
Memory aid:  Don't pucker up, but imagine blowing a kiss to the person you are thanking.
