Spanish Tutorial 1: Basic Greetings and Introductions178

Welcome to the first lesson of our Spanish language tutorial! In this lesson, we'll learn the basics of Spanish greetings and introductions so that you can start interacting with native Spanish speakers right away. Let's get started!

Greetings

When greeting someone in Spanish, there are a few phrases you can use. The most common greeting is "Hola," which means "hello." You can also say "Buenos días" (good morning), "Buenas tardes" (good afternoon), or "Buenas noches" (good evening). The time of day you use depends on the time of day it is.

If you're meeting someone for the first time, you can say "Mucho gusto" (nice to meet you). You can also say "Encantado" (enchanted) or "Un placer" (a pleasure).

Introductions

To introduce yourself, you can say "Me llamo" (my name is) followed by your name. For example, you could say "Me llamo John" (my name is John). You can also add "Soy de" (I'm from) followed by the place you're from. For example, you could say "Soy de Estados Unidos" (I'm from the United States).

If you're meeting someone from another country, you can say "Es un placer conocerle" (it's a pleasure to meet you) or "Mucho gusto" (nice to meet you). You can also ask where they're from by saying "¿De dónde es?" (where are you from?).

Practice

Now that you've learned the basics of Spanish greetings and introductions, let's practice a little bit. Try greeting someone and introducing yourself.

You: Hola, ¿cómo estás? (Hello, how are you?)

Other person: Bien, gracias. ¿Y tú? (Good, thank you. And you?)

You: Bien, también. Me llamo John. (Good, also. My name is John.)

Other person: Mucho gusto, John. Me llamo María. (Nice to meet you, John. My name is María.)

Congratulations! You've now mastered the basics of Spanish greetings and introductions. Keep practicing, and you'll be speaking Spanish like a native in no time.
