Lesson 1: Greetings and Introductions

Primero, escuchamos la conversación:
First, let’s listen to the conversation:

Hola, buenos días. Soy Ana, Enfermera especializada en Pediatría.
Hola, soy Jesus, mi esposa Arelis y nuestro hijo Mateo.
Mucho gusto, ¿que los trae a la clínica hoy?

Let’s listen with translation:
Hola, buenos días. Soy Ana, Enfermera especializada en Pediatría.
Hi, good morning. I’m Ana, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.
Hola, soy Jesus, mi esposa Arelis y nuestro hijo Mateo.
Hello, I'm Jesus, my wife Arelis and our son Mateo.
Mucho gusto, ¿que los trae a la clínica hoy?
Nice to meet you, what brings you into the clinic today?

Let’s break it down:

Hola = Hello (can also be Hi)

Buenos dias = Good morning

Soy Ana = I am Ana

Enfermera especializada en Pediatría = Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

Hola = Hello

Soy Jesus = I'm Jesus

Mi esposa Arelis = my wife Arelis

Y nuestro hijo Mateo = and our son Mateo

Mucho gusto = Nice to meet you

que = what

los trae = brings you

a = to

la = the

clínica = clinic

hoy = today

Now, repeat after me inserting your own name:
Hola,
buenos días.
Soy Ana,
Enfermera especializada en Pediatría.
Hola,
soy Jesus

Mi esposa Arelis
Y nuestro hijo Mateo.
Mucho gusto,
que
los trae
a la
clínica hoy?

Alternatively, if I were a Doctor I would say;
Soy Doctora Ana,
I am Doctor Ana.
If it were afternoon, I would say,
Buenas tardes
Good afternoon
Lastly, as you are exiting the room you might simply say,
Adios! Which literally means to God, but is meant as Goodbye! Adios!
Or
¡Qué pasen un buen día! Have a good day!
