Greetings and Goodbyes in Spanish

Learn Spanish greetings and goodbyes in real-world situations. In this video, you'll learn all about the most common ways to say "hello" and "goodbye" in Spanish. We cover both formal and informal greetings, the right way to greet someone with a kiss and show you exactly how people in Mexico greet each other by walking around town.
You'll hear some of the most popular phrases in our example conversations, followed up by a breakdown section in English that goes over all of the most important words and phrases.
If you plan to travel to a Spanish-speaking, then this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Remember that we have subtitles available in Spanish and English for this video and many others. Do you like this format for lessons? What would make it better? Thanks for watching!

[@FloridaHomesteading]

I do like it better when you are home and say things slower and repeat the phrase. But I'm old lol. Takes me longer to catch on.

[@tinamatic3500]

BUENÍSIMO video, MUCHAS gracias... me fascina! Love the breakdowns... y la actuación... OMG, the walk was THE BEST idea... genial! Pero ese beso, jajajaja, qué cosa tan incómoda! Add a besito/cheek-crash con alguien cuando está caminando por la ciudad!!! a ver cómo es cuando se encuentra uno con sus amigos, pero de verdad (because you paused it on the hug and it seemed like forever, jajaja! Need to see the whole saludo, cheek-crash, un poco de small talk (que es lo que voy a ir a ver ahora de su colección) y una despedida - o sea, otro cheek-crash ... muy bueno ver esa diferencia cultural). De nuevo, MIL gracias y sigan pa'lante!!! :D
