Greetings and Introductions ✌

It is essential to understand the importance of greeting and introducing ourselves in our daily interactions, as these acts not only establish a first contact, but also create an atmosphere of respect and cordiality. When greeting, we show courtesy and recognition towards the other person, which can facilitate communication and foster more positive interpersonal relationships.
