You already know how to say hello in Spanish. Try greeting your teacher now.
Nice one. But wait... how do you end the chat? Walking away in silence feels odd. Today we learn eight ways to close a conversation properly.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Recognise eight Spanish goodbyes and say the core ones clearly
- Pick the right goodbye for a friend, an adult, or either
- Open and close a short Spanish exchange
Here are today's eight Spanish goodbyes, in two groups of four.
We will flip each card, listen to the audio first, then say it twice together. Listen for the soft breathy sound at the start of hasta, and the strong second beat in Adiós (ah-DYOHS).
Eight ways to leave a chat: try each one bigger than the last!
After the cards, three columns go up on the board, Friend, Adult and Either, and you help decide which goodbyes go in each. You will need those decisions again later, so listen out for them.
Click a word, then its meaning, on the board. Find each Spanish goodbye with its English meaning. Say the Spanish quietly as you click each one.
Open your copy. From the Friend / Adult / Either sort still on the board, write three goodbyes. Next to each one, write friend, adult, or both.
- Adiós — Goodbye
- Hasta luego — See you later
- Hasta mañana — See you tomorrow
- Hasta pronto — See you soon
- Chao — Bye (informal)
- Cuídese — Take care (formal)
- Buenas noches — Good night
- Cuídate — Take care
