Learn How To Speak Spanish
Greetings
In your first attempt to learn Spanish, greetings will
usually be the first things you are taught. What do you know if
you don't know how to say "hello?" Learning the greetings will
help you to learn Spanish in its simplest form because you
don't have to worry about too many verb agreements or word
orders. The greetings are taught in simple phrases. No extra
words need to be looked up or added. As I said before, as you
learn Spanish the first phrase you need to know is "hello." In
order to say that in Spanish, you would say, "Hola."
"Hola" can be used formally or casually to say hello to
anyone you might run into. If you are trying to say hello on
the phone, you might use "bueno" or "diga. "
If you would like to say "goodbye" in Spanish, you would
say, "Adiós."
If you would like to say, "How are you?" you would say, "
¿Cómo estás?" To say, "Good afternoon." you would say, "
Buenas tardes." To say, "Good morning" or "Good
day," you would say, "Buenos días." "Good night" in Spanish is
buenos noches, and to ask what someone's name is, you would
say, "¿Cómo te llamas?"
Once you get these down, you will think it's a breeze to
learn Spanish, but you are in for some more complex terms a bit
later on down the road. Other basics that you can start
mastering are numbers, the alphabet, telling time, asking
directions, gender, color, body parts, and family.
Learning these types of everyday terms will help you learn
Spanish faster because you will able to practice these words
everyday. People say hello and good night all of the time so
you will feel comfortable practicing your Spanish often.
Later on, you will be able to form more complex greetings
such as, "Hello, how are you are you doing?" or "Hi, the
weather is pleasant today, isn't it?"
You can begin to get a little more advanced by asking
"What's up?" or "What's new?" To say that in Spanish, you would
say "¿Qué hay?" If you want to say, "How's it going?" you would
say, "¿Qué pasa?" If you would like to say "nice to meet you"
you would say "Mucho gusto."
Those are just a few of the more intermediate level
greetings that you will help you to learn Spanish while getting
to know many different people.
In Spain, it's often a common thing for people to kiss each
other on both cheeks when they meet. However, men will usually
shake hands. Even though people kiss each other often when they
meet, they don't do it all of the time. For instance in the
context of a business meeting, you would not catch people
kissing each other on the cheeks.
If you are in America, you may not want to try
kissing anyone as you learn Spanish, even if it's another
Spanish person. Most people of different cultures have gotten
used to the American culture, and American's usually don't kiss
when they first meet. However, should you visit Spain, you may
want to try this. It will add to the fun as you learn
Spanish.
