my spanish teacher told us not to use americano when we say where we are from bc if your talking to someone in spanish they will most likely assume that your from south America.she said it was better to just say I live in the United states.
Some phrases that I know:
Como estas?-How are you?
Donde tu?- Where do you live?
Hola!-Hi!
Buenos Dias!-Good Day
Buenos tardes-Good Afternoon
Buenos noches-Good night
Hasta Luego-See you later

That's right... "estadounidense" comes from "Estados Unidos", literally, United States, and that's the correct term, though you may say "americano" too, we would understand it even if it's not officially correct, because, anyway, South American people would say the country where they're from, not just that they're "american".

To Fluffy Bear: (Some words :)):
¿Qué tal estás? Yo bien. No sé de dónde eres, ¿Alemania, quizá? Me encantaría aprender alemán, pero creo que se me daría fatal

Too hard maybe... Just let me know ;)

Sziasztok! Hogy vagytok? Ez it is magyar nyelv, van it valaki Magyaroszágból? En Szlovákiából vagyok.

Okay, this probably had plenty of mistakes in it, but it's Hungarian. I can understand the language well, but it's difficult to speak it and even more difficult to write it. My Dad's half-Hungarian (I'm Slovak)...

Hello! How are you? This is Hungarian language, is there someone from Hungary? I'm from Slovakia.

Galicia is (está;)) in Spain, yes, it's in the north-west corner, right over Portugal.
You're from the States, right? What state you from?
