Learning a few basic phrases in Spanish can be really helpful when traveling to Spain or any other Spanish-speaking country. I'm currently trying to plan a trip to Madrid and I want to be able to greet locals with a little bit of Spanish. I've learned that 'hola' means hello, but how do you say 'hey' in Spanish? I've tried using "hola amigo" which seems like it should mean hi friend, but I'm not sure if that's the correct way to use the word 'amigo'. Has anyone else had any experience with this and can offer some advice on how to pronounce "hola amigo" correctly?

A more casual and informal way to say 'hey' in Spanish is actually ''hombre'' or ''chico'', but if you want to get really friendly, you can say ''hola con amiga'', which literally translates to 'hello with friend'. This phrase is perfect for when you're meeting someone new, especially if you're both female. To pronounce it correctly, try saying ''oh-lah kohn ah-mee-gah''. Don't worry too much about the exact pronunciation, just focus on getting the rhythm right and throwing in a smile to show your friendly intentions.
