1. GREETINGS
Once you have been introduced to someone, the next time you see that person it
is important to greet them. We also greet people as we leave people. In English
(as in all languages), there are different ways to greet people in formal and
informal situations.
Hi / Hello
How are you?
What's up? (very informal)
How are you doing? (very informal)
It's important to note that the question "How are you?" or "What's up?" doesn't
necessary need a response. If you do respond, these phrases are generally
expected:
hola hi

Señor + apellido
Salud!
