Hola a todos
Hi!  
2:00
Welcome to this meeting. - Bienvenidos a esta reunión
 
2:01
My name is Angeles, and today, we're going to talk about ways to say Hello and Goodbye in Spanish
2:01
Feel free to send your questions or comments.

First point: How to say Hello:
2:03
¡Hola! - This is the translation for Hello. It is a colloquial, informal way, although in Spanish we have no  abbreviation, like "Hi", in English.
 
2:04
We usually follow this "Hola" with "¿Qué tal?", which means "How are you?", or "How are you doing?"
2:05
So, a usual, colloquial, friendly conversation would start with:
- ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? or - ¡Hola! ¿Qué tal estás?  
2:06

The answer would be:
- "¡Hola! Estoy bien"  or simply, "¡Hola! Bien" , ¿Y tú?
(Hello, I'm fine, and you?)  

2:07
Using the formal form, it would be like this:
-¡Hola! ¿Qué tal está?
- Estoy bien, gracias. ¿Y usted?
