Topic: Introductions
How to Say “Nice to Meet You” in Spanish
You know how to greet and welcome someone in Spanish. You can add a courtesy phrase, such
as the English “Nice to meet you,” or “Pleasure to meet you.” In Spanish, we usually
say “Mucho gusto” or “Encantado de conocerte.”
● RESPONSES– nice to meet you
1) El gusto es mío- the pleasure is mine
2) Igualmente – likewise
Activity: Practice reading this dialogue.
Juan: Hola. Bienvenido a Guyana. Me llamo Juan.
Maria: Buenas tardes. Me llamo Maria. Mucho gusto.
Juan: El gusto es mío.
Talking about Your Background. The next part of a usual first-encounter conversation
includes introducing yourself further by talking about where you are from, where you live, age,
what you do etc.
The phrases for this in Spanish are the usual.
¿Qué haces? (what do you do?) .
“I’m a teacher”: Soy profesora.
Vocabulary
Questions Responses
1. What is your name?
¿Cómo te llamas? Me llamo Juan. (My name is Juan)
¿Cómo se llama Ud.?
2. Where are you from?
¿De dónde eres? Soy de Guyana. (I am from Guyana)
¿De dónde es Ud.?
3. Where do you live?
¿Dónde vives? Vivo en Parika. (I live in Parika)
¿Dónde vives Ud.?
4. How old are you? Tengo once años. (I am 11 years old)
¿Cuántos años tienes?
¿Cuántos años tiene Ud.?
5. What is your profession? Soy profesora. (I am a teacher)
¿Cuál es tu profesión? (informal)
¿Cuál es su profesión? (formal)
Review: Do you remember the two ways of asking “how are you?” in Spanish? Take a look at
your notes on greetings. Spanish has two ways of saying you: tú, which is informal, and usted
(Ud.), which is formal. We use the informal style when speaking to a friend, a family member or
a child. We use the formal style when speaking to someone in a position of power or someone we are meeting for the first time. Activity Jenel is your new neighbor. She is from Bolivia. Review your notes on greetings and personal information. Write a dialogue between you and Jenel. Include greetings, introduction, at least two personal information questions and responses and farewell. Week: One Lesson: Three Topic: Descriptions (Describing one’s family member) If you want someone to describe themselves you ask ¿Cómo eres? Response: Soy estudioso. (I am studious) If you want to know the description of someone else you ask ¿Cómo es...? Question: ¿Cómo es tu madre? Response: Mi madre es amistosa. (My mother is friendly) Note: If the noun is feminine/singular, the adjective must be feminine/singular. Mi madre es alta - My mother is tall. If the noun is masculine/singular, the adjective must be masculine/singular. Mi padre es alto- My father is tall If the noun is masculine/plural, the adjective must be masculine/plural. Mis hermanos son altos- My brothers are tall. If the noun is feminine/plural, the adjective must be feminine/plural. Mis hermanas son altas - My sisters are tall. Note: You can use “este es / esta es” (This is) to introduce your family members. Este es is used for masculine nouns and esta es is used for feminine nouns.

Topic: La hora (Telling time on the hour)
● ¿Que hora es? is used to ask for the time in Spanish.
● Think of 1:00 as being singular, and the other hours, 2-12, as being plural. That is why
we use 'es la una' and 'son las dos, son las tres, etc.'

Week 5 Lesson Two
Topic: La hora (Telling time to and past the hour)
● Minutes to 30
Minutes can be added to the hour using the word y (and).
Es la una y cinco. (It's five minutes past one.)
Son las tres y doce. (It’s twelve minutes past three.)
To tell the minutes from 31-59 we use another structure.
In English, we have two different ways of telling this time: we can say 'It's 5:45' or we can say
'It's a quarter to six.'
Minutes can be subtracted from the hour using the word menos (less).
-Es la una menos cinco.
It’s five minutes till one (12:55)
-Son las tres menos doce.
It’s twelve minutes till three. (2:43)Activity Write in Spanish the time shown on each clock below.
