Episode 5: What you do

To greet people we say: Hola or ¿Qué tal? (Informal), Buenos días (in the mornings), Buenas tardes (in the afternoon), Buenas noches (at night time), To say goodbye we say: ¡Hasta la vista!, hasta luego or adiós. 

To ask someone’s name we say: ¿Cómo te llamas? or ¿Cómo se llama usted? (formal), Me llamo Craig - My name is Craig, ¿Y tú? - And you? ¡Encantado! - Pleased to meet you (for a boy) or ¡Encantada! (if you’re a girl).
