Second, we will give you some phrases you can use when you are being introduced to someone:

  • – Com estàs? = How are you?
  • – Què tal? = How are you? (more informal, like “what’s up”)
  • – Molt bé, i tú? = I’m good, and you?
  • – Com et dius? = What’s your name?
  • – El meu nom és… = My name is…

 

Third, we would like you to understand directions, for example:

  • – Dreta/ Esquerra = Right/ Left
