First - You want to know how to say Hello to someone which is ¡Hola!

Second - You need to know how to ask someone how they are which is ¿Como estas? But if your talking to someone older such as an adult, you would say ¿Como esta Usted?.

Third - When someone says to you, "E tu" thats him/her asking you back how you are. From there you can something like Muy bien meaning very good etc.

Fourth - Lastly you thank them by saying, "Gracias." From there they would say "De nada" meaning your welcome.

Have you ever wanted to learn basic Spanish lessons about asking basic questions to someone? This lesson will be about asking someone about themselves, such as where are you from and where you live. This lesson will also teach you how to reply and answer to those questions.

As you can see in the picture below, the word tú at the end of the question means that you are talking to someone around your age. Ud. is when you are talking to an older person.

tú = person around your age
Ud.= person that is older than you, such as an adult

The word soy means I'm and de means from. So if you put it together, you get, I'm from. If you are from that place and you live somewhere else, you would have to say , pero vivo en. Meaning that you live somewhere else from where you are from. This is similar to saying, I'm from. You would just need to add, pero vivo en, after the place you are from. So its, Soy de (a place of where you're from) pero vivo en ( a place where you live, instead of where you are from).

After you tell where you're from and/or live, you can ask them, ¿Y tú ? or ¿Y Ud.? , meaning " And you?" or they may say, Yo tambien, which means " Me, too".

¿Y tú ? = And you?
Yo tambien = Me, too.

* All questions in español has an upside question mark before the question, another question mark, that is not upside down, is after the question.
*Exclamation points are similar to the question marks in questions. It has an upside down exclamation point before and after the sentence.

Example:
        ¿De dònde eres (tù)?
        ¡Gracias!  *meaning "Thank you!"

Here's a video of a Hispanic and an American student asking where they are from on their first day of school. This video can be applied in real-life, whereas a student, that knows only English, but can also communicate in Spanish to make them feel welcome on their first day of school. Enjoy the video.

Here's a link to learn the days of the weeks en español from Temperance and I.

In order to learn the days of the week, you will need to know how to say the days of the week in Spanish and know what days they are. Unlike English, the days of the week in Spanish aren't capitalized and the week starts with Monday instead of Sunday.
*miércoles and sábado are the only two days that have accents on top of them

If you are to tell someone what day of the week it is and what day it is tomorrow, here is a way you can say it:

Hoy es lunes. Mañana es martes.
Hoy es martes. Mañana es miércoles.
Hoy es jueves. Mañana es viernes.
Hoy es viernes. Mañana es sábado.
Hoy es sábado. Mañana es domingo.

A man asks a woman what day it is. He first says "disculpe" which means "excuse me" and asks the woman what day it is. The woman tells the man that it's Tuesday and the man thanks her.

Here's a link to learn the months of the year in Spanish. 

Knowing the alphabet is very important to learn. By learning the Spanish alfabeto, you can know how to write someone's name, if they don't know English. If you're at work and someone approaches you, asking for something, but you can't understand whose name they are saying. So you can ask them to spell it in español and you would know who they are talking about. The alfabeto is very easy to learn and kind of fun too.
*Fun fact : There are 27 letters in the Spanish alfabeto, whereas in English, there are only 26.
* All español letters are lower-cased, not upper-cased.

a   (ah)                  i  (eee)                    p (peh)           x (equis)    

b   (beh)                j   (hota)                 q (cooo)         y ( eee griega)  

c   (seh)                 k  (kah)                   r (ereh)          z (seta)     

d   (deh)                l   (eleh)                  s  (eseh)         

e    (eh)                 m  (emeh)                t  (teh)

f    (efeh)               n   (eneh)                u  (oooo)

g    (hey)                ñ  (enyeh)               v  (beh)

h    (acheh)            o    (o)                     w (doble ve)

You may notice that the pronunciation for the letter "v" is the same as the letter "b". Those 2 letters' pronunciation are the same, so if you are spelling a name, Billy. You would have to say "B" larga. If the name is Victor, the "V" would be corta. So you need to tell which letter you are saying, either b (larga) or v (corta). Both same pronunciations, but different letter.

b = larga
v = corta

* All the months are somewhat similar to the English months, but the only month that is different than the rest of them are January. January in español is enero. That's the only difference. The rest of the months are similar in English and in español.
