This question may sound weird since I'm not Japanese, but I'm posting it anyway.
The school is starting again soon, and I want to greet my teacher like they do in Japan. What should I say and do?
 
If its the morning, use the traditional ??(Aisatsu- a greeting) by bowing and saying ???????? (Ohayou Gozaimasu).
You could also say "??????” (Onegai-shimasu) which translates to "Please". It translates to a greeting in that context.
 
ok, even me i'm not a japanese but i'm learning some:

you can just say to him: kinnichiwa sensei. genki desuka.

???????????????
hello teacher how are you.
 
A simple bow, or nod of the head if you know your teacher well and a greeting.

Like, "Sensei, Ohayou Gozaimasu!" (Good Morning!) (Make sure your U at the end of -masu is almost entirely silent).

Pronounce it like this:
sen-say oh-hi-oh go-za-ee-mass

Good Luck!
 
If it's morning,
?????????WITH A BOW.

If not,????? WITH A BOW(??=????).

You don't have to say anything else.
