1.2 Understand language

Learn that friends and family in Spanish-speaking countries often greet each other with
a kiss on the cheek, a hug, or a handshake. In formal settings, like a job, or when meeting for
the first time, people shake hands. Practice expressions and gestures to greet and say
goodbye to people.

-English learners: build background, explain cultural differences used when greeting
(example: shake hands, hug, or a kiss on the cheek)
-Interpersonal: Have students work with a partner to develop a short role-play. Partners
should greet each other, ask how they are and say good bye.
