2. GREETING IN ENGLAND C u s t o m s V e r b a l G r e e t i n g s L e a r n i n g N a m e s Business Greetings W a r n i n g s It's customary to greet someone in Britain with a firm handshake, particularly if you're meeting him for the first time. Men should grasp women's hands more lightly than they would another man's. In social situations, introduce the man to the woman first. When meeting someone new, pay attention to your posture. Good posture will make you appear more confident. While shaking hands, people in Britain will ask, "How do you do?" While this phrase is technically a question, it does not require an answer. The correct response is not, "I'm fine, thank you." Instead, it's common and polite to simple say "How do you do?" back to the person. However, if the greeter asks, "How are you?" it is then polite to say something to the effect of, "Fine, thank you, and you?" Additional British greeting phrases include, "nice/delighted/pleased/glad to meet you" or simply "good morning/afternoon/evening." You may find that instead of a greeting, the person you're meeting simply will give you their name. Do not take this as rude, as it's a common British way or introducing oneself. If you hope to be on a first-name basis with the person you're meeting, stress your first name by repeating it. For example, say, I'm Jane. Jane Doe." Also, remember that you may have to introduce yourself again through the course of a night, particularly if there are a lot of introductions going on. Introductions depend on the person's rank in the company. The person with the highest ranking meets others in order of their positions. If you are introducing two people of equal rank, introduce the person who you know less to the other. Business people in Britain always shake hands as a greeting. Kissing on the cheek is a greeting for friends or people you haven't seen in a long time. Avoid all other physical contact or keep to a minimum. Hugs or other kinds of embracing or touching of the shoulders or elbow are not appropriate. "Hi," "hello," or "morning/afternoon/evening" without the "good" are informal greetings that you should not sue unless you're familiar with the person.

3. GREETING IN GERMAN Saying hello Saying bye-bye The most common ways to greet someone in German are  Hallo (Hello)  Grüß Gott (Hello [in Southern Germany])  Guten Morgen (Good morning)  Guten Tag (Hello, Good afternoon)  Guten Abend (Good evening) Although people in Germany usually prefer to greet non-family members with handshakes instead of the cheek kissing that is customary in most of Europe, cheek kissing is still a common type of greeting in many German-speaking countries. However, the rules regarding the number of kisses to give and knowing when and who to kiss change from place to place. The good news is that when you meet someone for the first time, you can usually just shake hands. Then just watch how other people interact. You'll quickly recognize the pattern. There are also many ways to say goodbye.  Auf Wiedersehen (Goodbye)  Tschüs (Goodbye [Informal])  Auf Wiederhören (Goodbye [on the telephone])  Bis spatter (See you later)  Bis bald (See you soon)  Bis morgen (See you tomorrow)  Bis Freitag (See you on Friday)  Alles Gute (All the best)  Viel Glück (Good luck)  Machs gut (Take care [S])

4. How to Greet People in France 1 Say HelloIn the United States, when people greet one another, they typically say, "How are you?" out of habit, without wanting or waiting for an answer. In France, that's not the case. Just like you say hello when you're getting together with friends in the United States, you also want to say, "Bonjour" (hello), to your friends in France. However, you don't say it to the group at large, you say it to each individual person with a bisou – a kiss. 2 Give a BisouBisoux are kisses on the cheek, but they're actually air-kisses to the side of the cheek. When women are greeting other women or men are greeting women, you kiss the person right cheek to right cheek and left cheek to left cheek, making a kissing sound into the air beside them, while saying "Bonjour" to friends or, if you're meeting for the first time, your name. 3 Shake HandsWhen men are greeting men, they do not greet one another with a kiss, but with a handshake. Again, if you know the person, you will say "Bonjour" and if you don't, greet them with your name. 4 Greet Without the BisousIf you don't know someone, don't know them well or are not friends with the person, a simple "bonjour" without the bisous is more than sufficient. If, however, you don't to say the same thing all the time, there are other frequently-used greetings. "Salut" is a greeting used between close friends, pronounced "Sal- ooh." "Cuck-oo" is not someone telling you they think you're crazy, but simply a friendly greeting, and it's pronounced in the same way as the Cuck-oo clock. 5 Repeat the Process When You Say GoodbyeWhen you leave, make sure you say good-bye in the same way you said hello – with bisoux and handshakes. Yes, you need to say good-bye to every person, and yes, that can take a long time. Instead of bonjour, when you're leaving you can say, "Salut," "A plus tard", "A bientot", or "au revoir" – basically good-bye or until next time.
