Greetings & Being Polite, Part #1 Oct 10, 2014

In this video, we cover some different ways to say “hello” and “goodbye”. Not just “hola” and “adíos”. There are many other ways to say “hello” and “goodbye”. Most Spanish courses and books don’t teach the real ways, because they’re often not real words or phrases.
