Que Tal

Real World Example

The Spanish phrase "¿Qué tal?" is a casual way to ask "How are you?" or "What's up?" in English. To remember it, think of the classic movie quote "ET phone home" from the film *E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial*. Imagine ET trying to blend in on Earth, learning Spanish, and instead of phoning home, he casually asks, "¿Qué tal?" to fit in with the humans. So, picture ET reaching out his glowing finger and saying, "Hey, ¿qué tal?" to check in with his Earthly friends. It's like an alien version of a friendly "howdy!" 🛸
