\u00a1Hola, mi gente!<\/p>\n

I decided to write a post with beginning dialogues in Spanish for our readers who don’t know much Spanish yet. Today’s topic is greetings and goodbyes.<\/p>\n

Instead of giving you a word-by-word explanation I chose to teach you chunks of words to help you learn better, ok?<\/p>\n

\u00bfEst\u00e1n listos?<\/p>\n

1. Dos amigos se encuentran en la parada de autob\u00fas:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pablo: \u00a1Hola, Luis! \u00bfQu\u00e9 tal?
\nLuis: Voy tirando, Pablo. Ya ves, corriendo como siempre, voy a la oficina, Y t\u00fa, \u00bfc\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?
\nPablo: Bien, gracias. Pues yo voy a la escuela.
\nLuis: Vale, ah\u00ed viene mi autob\u00fas. Adi\u00f3s.
\nPablo: Hasta pronto.<\/p>\n

en la parada de autob\u00fas = at the bus stop<\/em>
\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 tal? = How are you? How’s it going?<\/em>
\n Voy tirando = so-so<\/em>
\n ya ves = you see<\/em>
\n corriendo com siempre = running (busy) as always<\/em>
\n vale = OK<\/em>
\n ah\u00ed viene = here comes<\/em>
\n hasta pronto = see you soon<\/em><\/p>\n

2. El se\u00f1or Jim\u00e9nez y Ana se encuentran en la calle:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ana: Buenos d\u00edas, se\u00f1or Jim\u00e9nez. \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1 usted?
\nSr. Jim\u00e9nez: Regular, hija. \u00bfY t\u00fa?
\nAna: Muy bien, gracias. Adi\u00f3s.
\nSr. Jim\u00e9nez: Hasta luego, ni\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

en la calle = on the street<\/em>
\n regular = so-so<\/em><\/p>\n

3. En la plaza tomando el sol:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Antonio : Bunas tardes. \u00bfQu\u00e9 hay?
\nJos\u00e9: Pues no estoy nada bien.
\nAntonio: \u00bfQu\u00e9 te pasas, hombre?
\nJos\u00e9: Estoy fatal, no he dormido bien esta noche.
\nAntonio: Pues nada, \u00a1qu\u00e9 te pongas bien!<\/p>\n

en la plaza = on the square<\/em>
\n tomando el sol = sunbathing<\/em>
\n no estoy nada bien = I’m not OK at all<\/em>
\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 te pasa, hombre? = What’s wrong, man?<\/em>
\n fatal = awful<\/em>
\n no he dormido = I haven’t slept<\/em>
\n esta noche – tonight<\/em>
\n pues nada = don’t worry<\/em>
\n \u00a1qu\u00e9 te pongas bien! = I hope you feel better<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Una pareja en la cafeter\u00eda:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fernando: \u00a1Hola, tesoro! \u00bfC\u00f3mo vas?
\nJulia: Estupendamente. Y ahora que te veo, mejor. \u00bfY t\u00fa?, c\u00f3mo lo has pasado?
\nFernando: Muy bien, cari\u00f1o.<\/p>\n
