The English Spoken Channel has compiled "English Greeting Conversations" for netizens for your reference and study.

You may think that saying hello is a very simple thing, isn't it just "Hello." "How do you do?" "How are you?" "I'm fine, thank you. And you? "?"

Let’s start changing our greetings and learn to greet people in authentic and pure American English!
