Karly and Lexy teach you Spanish

To greet someone you first start with "Hola". Also, to be more polite and you can ask how are you : "Que tal?" or "Como va?" The formal way to ask someone how they are is Como esta?" The informal is way "Como estas?"Lastly, to say goodbye to someone, you can say, "Adios!", "Chao!", "Hasta lugeo!" (See ya later!) or "Hasta pronto!" (See ya soon!)

-Karly Bornstein

Here are the ways to have proper manners when speaking Spanish:
To say thank you, you simply say "Gracias" If you want to say thanks a lot you would say "Muchas Gracias" or "Mil Gracias" which means thanks a million. There are three ways to say your welcome: "De nada", "Por nada", and "No hay de que". To say please, it is "Por favor". When it comes to saying excuse me, there are also three different ways to say it, but each way is appropriate for different times. If someone is standing in your way, you tell then "Con permiso". To try to get someones attention, it is "Discuple". If you actually bump into someone it is, "Perdon".
