Introductions (pt. 1/2)
In this blue vocabulary lesson, we go over the first part of the most commonly used ‘introductions’ in Spanish. We will learn how to say hello, how to introduce ourselves, ask for the other person’s name, and how to say goodbye.
In total, we learn 21 words/phrases during this lesson. This can be a lot all at once, so I recommend using a technique called ‘flashcards’ to learn these words & phrases. I strongly recommend to first learn these words by heart, which might take about a week, before moving on to the next lesson.
