3rd and 4th Grade ~ Saludos Vocabulary

Salutations! We are learning how to greet each other, introduce ourselves and say goodbye in our elementary classes this week. There are so many expressions that we will add as we go, but this is our shortened list that our quiz will eventually be taken from. 

As your child practices writing, remember that accent marks are important!  ¿Cómo está Papá? is asking how dad is doing. ¿Como esta papa? means, "Do I eat this potato?" :D By learning to notice those details now, they are laying a strong foundation for future classes.

Here is our list of expressions: 

Hola—Hello

Buenos días—Good morning

Buenas tardes—Good afternoon

Buenas noches—Good evening

¿Cómo se llama usted (Ud.)?—What is your name (adult)?

¿Cómo te llamas?—What is your name (child)?

Me llamo—my name is (literally, I call myself)

Mucho gusto—Nice to meet you

Encantado—Delighted to meet you (if the speaker is a boy)
