Spanish homework... can anyone help?

I learned to say "Muy amable" when in English we would say..."It was nice to meet you."

How is that different?

Sara, es muy amable would be "it's very nice of you" I think.

I would use Encantada de conocerte/le.

One of the first numbers I learned to say in Spanish was, seis cientas dies y ocho (hotel room), and mil novecientas setenta y quatro. (you can figure out what that is) LOL!

One caution when you get to the Shopping bit of it.... don't mix up jabon and jamon like I did.

A good thing to learn in the beginning, is the difference of SER and ESTAR.

Que se divierta!

That's very strange Sara

Where did you get it?
"Muy amable" means "It was very kind of you" or "you are very kind"

Maybe some latin american spanish speakers could us fill in about this expression used as a introduction?

Anna...not so much as a greeting but upon leaving. (If that makes sense.) After being introduced and then taking leave of the person to whom you were introduced.
