Learn Spanish - Greetings

Learning Spanish - Minicourse - Part 2

¿Cómo está usted?

You've guessed it - ¿Cómo está usted? means "how are you" in Spanish.
but hadn't we just leant that to say "how are you?" in Spanish, the expression is ¿Cómo estás?

Well, the difference is that this new form is a more polite form of the greeting tu use with people we don't know so well or have only just met.

I suppose that Spanish then is just like many other European languages in this way. It's the same sort of idea as in French and German.

So, Part 2 of the Rocket Spanish Mini Course goes into a lot of detail explaining some basic greetings in their various forms, pretty much hammering them home and considers both male and female speakers.

It also explains how to reply to these greetings and what to expect in response. So you shouldn't be lost for words.

This second part of the mini Spanish course is in written form - no audio this time - so you get to see the Spanish words written down and come to grips more with reading as it relates to the spoken Spanish.

This little course seems to be alternating between audio components and then the written Word.

So far so good! The pace is just about right for me - a complete novice to learning Spanish and who doesn't have too much time to spare on copious Spanish grammar exercises.
