The page is divided into three parts. First you can learn the most common ways to say "Hi" in Spanish. You could continue with the phrases for "How are you". And lastly situated is the "Goodbye" vocabulary. On the bottom of the reading you can see an example dialogue consistent only of greeting expressions.
Take into account that in Spanish there is one greeting that includes "Good afternoon" and "Good evening" in one. Instead of two different phrases you just turn to speak "Buenas tardes" in both of the cases.
Spanish | English |
---|---|
¡Hola! | Hello! |
¡Buenos días! | Good morning! |
¡Buenas tardes! | Good afternoon!/Good evening! |
¡Hola a todos! | Hello everyone! |
¡Hola a todo el mundo! | Hello everybody! |
Take online language lessons with a professional teacher
Except of just saying "hi", it's important to query "How are you".
Spanish | English |
---|---|
¿Cómo estás? | How are you? |
¿Qué tal? | What´s up? |
¿Cómo está (Usted)? (formal) | How are you? |
¿Qué pasa? | What´s up? |
¿Cómo estamos? (more informal) | How are you? |
In Spanish culture it's not so common to begin to complain when someone ask you "How are you". You´d rather answer "Muy bien".
Spanish | English |
---|---|
¡Muy bien! | Very well! |
¡Estupendo! | Great! |
¡Perfecto! | Perfect! |
Más o menos. | So so. |
No puedo quejarme. | I cannot complain. |
You can use "Hasta luego" and "Hasta pronto" in case you will see the person soon and "Adiós" and "Hasta la vista" for a long-term separation.
Spanish | English |
---|---|
¡Hasta luego! | See you later! |
¡Adiós! | Goodbye! |
¡Que tenga(s) buen día! ¡Que tenga(s) buena tarde! | Have a nice day/afternoon! |
¡Igualmente! | Same to you! |
¡Hasta la vista! | Goodbye! |
¡Hasta pronto! | See you soon! |
¡Un abrazo! | A hug! |
Let´s represent a simple conversation, consistent only of greetings:
Ramón: ¡Hola, Raul! Hello, Raul!
Raul: ¡Buenos días, Ramón! Good morning, Ramon!
Ramón: ¿Qué pasa? How is it going?
Raul: Todo bien. Y tú, ¿Cómo estás? Everything's OK. What about you?
Ramón: ¡Estupendo! I'm fine!
Raul: Bueno, ¡que tengas un buen fin de semana! Great, have a nice weekend!
Ramón: ¡Igualmente! Same to you!
Congratulations! After this lesson you are supposed to be prepared to have a small talk in Spanish. Practice it here with the microphones, the exercises or go out and practice outside! Don´t forget the kisses and hugs as a considerable part of the greetings. ¡Vamos!
¡Un abrazo!

I am young female staying in Johannesburg, South Africa. I have obtained my qualification in Agricultural management. I am well mannered and very inquisitive. I enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family because it is always an opportunity to learn more about myself and explore different characteristics that I have. I strongly believe in sharing and helping others. In life, we all have moments where one needs help but it is never easy to ask for help, hence why I always put myself forward by offering help. The world can be a much better place if more people had the spirit to help.
Teaching is a special role for one to play because it requires patience. I was able to learn more about my teaching ability through helping my brother and his friends with their homework and school assignments. I am quite charismatic and able to think on my feet to bring solutions when there is a problem. I enjoy teaching because it allows me to share what I have been taught and my knowledge with the next person.
I strongly believe in using color as part of my teaching methods because things are easier to remember when there is color attached. I will be using mostly paper to emphasize on things being taught so that they can be studied and re-learned at a larger stage. I will be using charts and graphs so the students are able to see and not just picture what is being taught. I will also share documents and articles relating to what is being taught just for interest and so that the students are able to learn more outside the class sessions.

Hello, I'm Rosie. I strongly believe that anyone can not only learn a language, but it can happen naturally, without homework, overcoming the learning-relate traumas. Within only a couple of sessions, students start using the language spontaneously and confidently. Until the end of the course, they can successfully engage in a wide range of topics. Suggestopedia makes it all happen.
I'm a highly-qualified teacher of English and Bulgarian with over 8 years of experience in teaching students from all ages, levels and cultural backgrounds.
I use an innovative and creative methodology to help you learn up to 5 times faster with much better reinforcement compared to any traditional methodologies.
If you are curious to experience it first-hand, do not hesitate to contact me.
I will gladly welcome you to my virtual space!
Best wishes!

I'm an experienced language teacher with 5 years of experience teaching Catalan, Spanish and English to all levels and ages (children and adults) and German to beginners. I've worked as a private teacher and as a teacher in a school, so I can handle students one to one as well as groups. Due to the Covid-19 crisis, I also have experience in online teaching.
I've got a degree in Catalan and English philology, a post-degree in teaching Catalan and the official master for teaching in secondary and Language Schools (English speciality).
In my classes I always take into account my students' needs. I focus on communication, without forgetting that we need to learn the grammar in order to speak/write correctly.
I use different materials depending on the level, the language and the students, but they are always of diverse nature and they include videos. I usually include material created by me.
I love learning languages myself, so I always try to think how I like the classes in order to make my own teaching more appealing to my students, so you can trust that, if you take classes with me, you will have an experiences teacher as well as an experienced language learner.

My name is Laia, and I am an infant and primary school teacher, specialized in additional languages. This year I have finished my second degree in Early Childhood Education. Previously, I had completed my degree in Primary Education in English. This last year I have combined my studies with a job in the reception classroom of a school. My main aim was to teach newly arrived pupils the official languages of my country and helping them to adapt to their new environment.
In addition, I have been an English teacher and monitor with students of different ages. I can adapt to my students, looking for the best way to individualize their learning.
Furthermore, I did the 120 hours course with TEFL this summer as I decided to delve more deeply into teaching English as a foreign language to help my students in a better way.
I would describe my classes as dynamic and entertaining. The aim is that during the first class we get to know each other so we can find out what your needs and goals are.
For my classes, I will use different materials that I used in my previous jobs, for example, games, role plays, flashcards, grammar summaries, or sample exams.
Finally, I would like to talk about my hobbies so that you can get to know me a little better. I am passionate about art and sea sports. I love watching films and series of any kind of genre. I also enjoy reading, especially when it is a mystery or action.

Laura is a great Spanish teacher ! She is patient and adaptes any of her lessons according your demand and level. I could have improved my pronunciation, my vocabulary and my grammar in Spanish thanks to her. I also felt free to ask anything about Latinoamerica as learning more about colloquial expressions from there. She made structured, personalized, attractive and completed Spanish courses ! I strongly recommend her !

I am a native English language teacher from Ireland. I have the highly acclaimed accreditation of CELTA. I have been living and teaching in Spain for the past 2 years. I specialise in medical English and in exam preparation. I have trained others to become teachers through the TEFL scheme. My students have been very successful in their exams and I have a brilliant track record. I teach all levels and employ different methods, depending on my student's level of comprehension and their objectives. So for example, if I had a juvenile A1 student, I would play games, use flash cards, keep the class dynamic and I would change activity regularly. This helps to hold their attention and keeps them engaged. Their following lesson then touches on revision and progression. If I had a C1 student, I would help them to work on their exam preparation skills and especially their grammar and speaking skills, I would also teach them specific terminology for their area of study/career.
I adore teaching, I am an excellent teacher and I can definitely help to make English easy for you. I am friendly, engaging and I can mimic different accents! :) I can teach British or American English.
I hope to welcome you to my class soon.

So, If you want to Learn English or Tagalog, Conversational, Wika or Panitikan (means Grammar and Literature in Tagalog) you can book me as your teacher. See you soon!

In recent years I have worked as an Academic Director at a Language School in northern Spain. My job duties there included designing intensive Spanish & English courses for beginners’, intermediate and advanced levels, as well as teaching both on-site and via Skype. This constant interest has allowed me to become familiar with techniques and tools that are essential in today´s second language learning, such as the materials used by the Cervantes Institute and the most renowned publications and blogs in the field of language teaching. Most particularly, I have made extensive use of audiovisuals and creative writing activities in order to develop consistent, effective courses.
As an on-line teacher, I have steadily used different technology applications in language learning. My tasks as a teacher included setting homework and giving feedback to my students, according to their needs, on a regular basis, as well as keeping accurate register of their attendance and progress.
Graduated in Hispanic Philology and Masters in Applied French, I have always kept up with my teaching training and have recently completed a Cambridge CELTA course for English teachers This further training has provided me with the familiarity to different teaching methodologies, which have proven to be extremely useful in my classes.
My hobbies: art cinema, hiking, reading and watching and playing basketball.

I wanted to refresh and improve my Spanish and I contacted Inigo because he 's certified in luinguistic. Inigo is very patient, professional and helpful. He provides well structured lessons, in a very friendly and good atmosphere which is really favorable for learning a foreign language. The lesson material is built around several support such as text, audio, video, etc. You can't be bored and it's nice to switch between the different materials along the hour. He's also fluent in French and English so he can switch from a language to another for any explanation if needed. I really enjoy my lessons with him and I definitely recommand him!
