Greet someone and keep talking

Classroom situation: you arrive at a meeting and want to do more than say hello; you want to show interest in the other person.

Mini-dialogue

¡Hola! ¿Qué tal?

Muy bien, gracias. ¿Y tú?

Try this in conversation: “¡Hola! ¿Qué tal?” — “Hello! How are things?” Read the mini-dialogue aloud, change one detail and answer in your own words.

Try it yourself

Say both lines, then change the answer to regular. Think of one question to keep the introduction going.
