Hi

To greet you can say shalom/שׁלום which literally means peace. It is also said to mean goodbye. Other greetings like good morning are often used with shalom.

שׁלום! בוקר תוב
Shalom! Boker Tov
Peace! Morning good

To Be

Hebrew doesn't use the verb to be in the present tense. You just say the noun/pronoun followed by the predicate.

I'm Stacey.
אני סטיטי
Ani Stacey.
