B. Basic Salutations: Hi, Hello, Wassup (?)

Greeting Someone you Know

Look at the different ways you can greet someone you know:

"Hey John, how have you been?"
"Hi Bob, how are you?"
"Hi Nancy, what have you been up to?"
"Andy, it's been a long time, how are you man?"
"What's up Tommy? (In slang, it is usually pronounced Wassup) SEE VIDEO BELOW
"What's going on Jeremy?

If you meet someone unexpectedly, you can say,
"Hey Jack, it's good to see you. What are you doing here?"
or
"What a surprise. I haven't seen you in a long time. How have you been?"

Appropriate responses:
It is going ok. How about you?
Going well"
I am doing well and you?"Hi Steve, my name is Mike. It is nice to meet you as well."

"I heard a lot about you from John. He had a lot of good things to say."

"Wow. How long has it been? It seems like more than a year. I'm doing pretty well. How about you?"

A typical response to this type of greeting is simple.

"Not too bad."

If asked what you have been up to, you can respond with, "Same old same old (same old thing - nothing has changed)." Or, "The same as usual."

Greeting Someone you do not know

Greeting someone you never met:
"Hi, my name is Steve. It's nice to meet you."
You can respond to this by saying,
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Jack."

Another common question to ask is: "What do you do for a living?"
You can respond to this by saying, 
"I work at a restaurant."
"I work at a bank."
"I work in a software company."
"I'm a dentist."
"I am a cashier at the supermarket"
"I don't work yet. I am still a student"

Usually, you will not need to ask for a name. It is implied that each person should say their name. But in case they don't, you can ask, 

"What is your name?" OR "What's your name"

Many times, I don't hear the name. If you would like for them to repeat their name, you can say,

"What was that again?"
"Excuse me?"
"Pardon me?"
"Sorry, I didn't get that. Can you please repeat it?"
