Identify and use common greetings and goodbyes
A typical familiar conversation:
Juana: ¡Hola! Me llamo Juana. Y tú, ¿cómo te llamas?
Sarita: Me llamo Sarita.
Juana: Encantada. (typically shaking hands)
Sarita: El gusto es mío.
This same conversation might include some variations:
Juana: ¡Hola! Me llamo Juana. Y tú, ¿cómo te llamas?
Sarita: Me llamo Sarita.
Juana: Mucho gusto. (typically shaking hands)
Sarita: Igualmente.
Look at the differences if one person introduces two others:
Ava: Hola, Jasmín. Te presento a mi amiga, Naíja.
Jasmín: Mucho gusto.
Naíja: Encantada.
Ava: ¡Chao, nos vemos!
As you can see, there are variations in the way people typically respond. A formal conversation will have some differences, but there can also be many similarities:
Profesora: ¡Hola! Yo soy la Profesora Hernández. ¿Cómo se llama usted?
Julio: Me llamo Julio García, soy estudiante en la clase.
Profesora: Mucho gusto.
Julio: Igualmente.
Profesor: Profesora Hernández, le presento a mi estudiante Caspar.
Caspar: Mucho gusto.
Profesora: El gusto es mío.
Now that you know how to say hello and introduce yourself, how do you end a conversation? As with greetings and introductions, farewells can be more or less informal. Here are two friends ending a conversation:
…
Miguel: Pues… nos vemos.
Paulino: ¡Chao, hasta luego!
And here are two people with a more formal relationship saying goodbye:
…
Estudiante: Bueno, profesora, adiós.
Profesora: Muy bien, hasta mañana.
