Using Courtesy Phrases

To be courteous, you use certain phrases to says 'Thanks!', 'Your Welcome!' and to excuse yourself. In Español we do the same.

Thanks
Thank You= ¡Gracias!
(in order of degree) ¡Muchas Gracias!
¡Muy amable, Gracias!

Your Welcome= De nada.
Por nada.
No hay de qué.
Please= ¿Por favor?


Excuse Me
Attention= ¡Disculpe!
ex. When raising your hand in class
Apology= ¡Perdón!
ex. When unpurposely bumping into someone
Move= ¡Con permiso!
ex. Asking someone to move in the hallway

You would use this in real life when in the situation to say Thank You, Your Welcome and Excuse Me the correct way.
