Hello everybody, this is Jack
and Kate from tofluency.com.

And in this lesson, we are
going to talk about greetings.

How to greet people in
America, what to do,

and some questions to ask and what to say.

So I thought we would
start by just showing you

And then there's one I didn't talk about,

is with what you do when you
meet somebody you don't know.

- What about if you are meeting my cousin

And you've already been
chatting away on Facebook.

that you're meeting in
person for the first time,

then probably a hug
would feel more natural.

And there's always that
moment where both people,

They don't know which one
is the best one to do.

and later we're gonna talk
about living in Spain.

- It's like a side on
hug with a handshake.

- A side on hug, yeah
I know what you mean.

Yeah, and sometimes you
can use that handshake

I think in general though,
that when women meet,

- And when a guy and a
woman, man and a woman,

meet for the first time,
the default is a handshake.

- And I'll also say, this is
very similar in the UK as well.

These are very similar
things that you do there too.

that's a little bit, like,
you can joke with them.

- I think that it's
also less of a greeting,

Wait, hold on let's--
- So you can do it...

This can lead to awkward
situations, right?

Okay, living in Spain, how
did you greet people in Spain?
