The impact of a warm greeting in Spanish cannot be overestimated. It helps to build trust between you and your patient. In this lesson, I review common greetings in Spanish with my friend and Spanish teacher, Maria Bjorklund, MS from Perú.
The full lesson, including goodbyes, expressions of gratitude, apologies, and condolences, is part of our History and Exam course.
