Hola! this is the second lesson where we are gonna learn how to meet someone. This post has
more details about how to use the vocabulary learned, when and with whom. 


  • ¿Cual es tu nombre? This question can change in formality; ¿cual es su nombre? <= we are using usted  that it's more formal. Other way to say "what's your name? is ¿cómo te/se llama? literally means "how are you called?".
  • Mi nombre es... This sentence doesn't have any change, you can say it like this if the question was ¿cual es tu nombre? but you change the answer when you are asked ¿cómo te llamas? then you answer me llamo ...
  • ¿Cuantos años tienes? In Spanish for talking about our age we use the verd to have so this question literally means: "how years you have?" and we use the verb to have with other expressions that we are gonna learn later. You can hear this same question in other way: ¿qué edad tienes? literally it means "what age you have?"   but the answer will be always the same.
  • Tengo... años Again the verb to have! instead of años (years)  maybe you can use meses (months), dias (days), semanas,  (weeks) etc...I think you already realized the "S" at the end of the word is plural! día, mes, año...
  • ¿De donde eres? Mmmmm...not much to say about this question, from where you are? is the literal translation. Maybe it can change; ¿de donde vienes? => from where do you come from? of course the way to answer changes...
  • Soy de ... The way for answering changes, for example when you are asked "where are you from?" you can say in spanish "I'm Colombian" or " I'm from Colombia", but changes when you are asked "from where do you come from?" then you answer "vengo de..."  although this question is used in some conversations or when you are new in a place.
  • Mucho gusto: Also you can say "un placer/gusto conocerte" both are okay but in my opinion I like hearing more "un placer/gusto conocerte" because I think it's more formal, however you can use the option you prefer because is very important to be yourself when you speak any language.
  • Por favor: This is a very important word! My grandma says that this word is magic and if you say it when you are asking for something you will get it.  
  • Gracias: And again I will talk about my grandma but more simple: Say it with a smile on your face! if you are really grateful and you want to say "thank you very much" you can say "muchas gracias"=> much thanks.

  • De nada: Literally means "of nothing" but also you can say no hay de qué=> there isn't of what.
