When you want to start a conversation you say "Hola" which means "Hi."
You can ask questions like: "¿Qué tal?", "¿Cómo estás tú? (for younger people), "¿Cómo está usted? (for elders) (both of them mean "How are you?")
You can respond: "Estoy"....(cansado/a [girls must use a],contento/a,enfermo/a etc.) "I am (happy,sad,tired etc.)
¿De dónde eres?(es[for elders])(means where are you from)response: "soy de" .....(Cuba, Guatemala etc.) meaning "I am from" .
Or even "¿Cuántos años tienes?(Tu[for younger people],Ud[for elders])which means how old are you. Response: "Tengo (catorce, once, dose etc.) años" meaning "I am" (12, 14, 10 etc.)
Lastly you say "Mucho gusto" ("Nice to meet you") they say "Igualmente"("You, too.") and then you say "Adios"("good bye")
Real life situation
You could use this in real life if you want to start a conversation during a moment of awkward silence.
