Saying hello in Spanish can be straightforward and usually hola or buenos dias is the preference, especially with strangers or in formal situations. However, there are many variations on hola you can learn to help you sound more like a local. In Venezuela, épale is used as an informal or casual greeting between friends and family and is the equivalent of “hey” or “what’s up.” Some Spanish-speaking countries also use háblame = “talk to me,” but be careful to only use this slang with those you know well.

Knowing the words to say for the situation is important, but it’s equally crucial to know the body language and gestures specific to each culture.

That way, you’ll know how to respond with respect no matter which situation you find yourself in.
