Greeting People

When we want to communicate with another person it is very important to know how to ask for their name or how to start a conversation. Here are two short videos that show a few different ways of saying hello and asking for a person's name.

Watch the videos and complete the excercise at the end.

GREETINGS (ENGLISH ONLY)





GREETINGS (ENGLISH SUBTITLES)



As you could see, there were just 5 short phrases to say hello or ask a person's name. Now complete the excercises. They will pop up in another window.

Once you are done with the exercises you can continue with more vocabulary and phrases. This video is about saying hello and goodbye.

Try to make a few sentences saying hello to someone and giving a short response. If nobody is near you it can be done out loud. An alternative is to leave a message right here with your phrases.

Now let ask others WHERE ARE THEY FROM? Listen and pay attention to the following videos.
