Today’s question comes from Brian, one of my followers. Brian says: “Could we have some Spanish greetings in your podcast? I’ve found a few websites that list some greetings, but I don’t know how to pronounce them.”

Knowing a few greetings can make your Spanish vacation a lot more enjoyable. In my experience, even if you only know a few words in the language of the country you’re visiting, people often become much more friendly and helpful.

So, to help you make friends with Spanish speakers, here are ten popular greetings. Repeat after me:

hola – hello

¿qué tal? – how are you?

bien, gracias – fine, thanks

buenos días – good morning

buenas tardes – good afternoon, good evening

buenas noches – good evening, good night

hasta mañana – see you tomorrow

hasta pronto – see you soon

hasta luego – see you later

adiós – goodbye

Let’s say those 10 greetings again. Repeat after me.
