Episode 1 – Saludos y DespedidasWelcome to your very first Spanish moment sin prisa. In Episode 1 of Sin Prisa: Spanish with Tiffany, we kick things off with the most important skill of all: saying hello and goodbye. From hola and buenas to ¿qué tal? and nos vemos, you’ll learn friendly, real-life greetings used across Spanish-speaking cultures. Tiffany breaks it down, adds a few travel-inspired gems, and walks you through your first simple conversation so you can actually speak Spanish out loud, confidently and imperfectly. With warmth, laughter, and a reminder that language is about connection, this episode sets the tone for learning Spanish with ease, intention, and a whole lot of grace.Conversation 1: GreetingsThis is your first basic conversation. I will pause for you to respond.Tiffany: ¡Hola! You: ¡Hola!Tiffany: Cómo estás?You: Bien, y tú?Tiffany: Estoy muy bien. Cómo te llamas?You: Me llamo _________. (Y tú?) The timing is a little short here, so just say your name. Tiffany: Me llamo Tiffany. Mucho gustoYou: El gusto es mío. AdíosTiffany: ¡Que te vaya bien!Sin Prisa Cultural Note: Spanish is relational.Spanish is a relational language. In many Spanish-speaking cultures, you don’t jump straight into business , you connect first. From my travels in places like Mexico and the Caribbean, I learned quickly that a greeting is expected before almost anything else. You say hola or buenos días before ordering coffee, asking a question, or starting a conversation. It’s not about perfection or accent, it’s about presence. That small moment of greeting builds warmth, respect, and human connection. And that’s exactly how we’re learning Spanish here slowly, intentionally, and together. Very sin prisa, very soulful.
