How’d you do? If you got over 16 out of 20, congratulations! If you scored lower, you may wish to review the previous lessons on this topic. Greetings and farewells are some of the most basic things you need to know in Spanish. They’re also the best way to make fast friends, because politeness is highly valued in the Latin world.

If this topic was interesting to you, why not go back and listen to the Interactive Audio lesson one more time, or practice with the flashcards? Here are the links in case you've lost them.

Take care, and see you next time!
