๐Ÿ‘‹ ¿Quรฉ tal?

Before you can talk about your weekend or order a chocolate caliente, you need the basics: how to say hello, goodbye, and everything in between. Spanish greetings are short, friendly, and incredibly useful. Here you’ll find the essential ones used every day in Spanish-speaking countries. So, let's make them second nature.

  • ๐Ÿ‘‹ Buenos dรญas Good morning
  • ๐ŸŒ‡ Buenas tardes Good afternoon
  • ๐ŸŒ™ Buenas noches Good night / Good evening
  • ๐Ÿ˜Š Bien well
  • ๐Ÿคฉ Fantรกstico/a fantastic
  • ๐Ÿ˜– Fatal awful
  • ๐Ÿ˜Ž Fenomenal great
  • ๐Ÿ˜• Mal bad
  • ๐Ÿ˜ Regular OK
  • ๐Ÿ™‹‍♀️ Me llamo My name is
  • ๐Ÿ™‹‍♂️ Te llamas Your name is
  • ๐Ÿ‘ค Se llama His name is / Her name is

Let’s put the greetings above into action. Here’s a fun little conversation between two people (and their dogs!). See how many phrases you recognise.
