This Spanish Easy Review vocabulary quiz takes a look at good manners. It doesn’t matter what language you are speaking. If you have very poor manners, people will not think very highly of you. In fact, they will see you as being very rude. Learning good manners starts when you are very, very young. Perhaps the very first manner you learn is to say thank you. Next would probably be please.
Having good manners shows people that you care about them, that you show them respect and that you are socially polite. This is even true with complete strangers. In addition, if you want people to show you respect, then you need to be a good example of one who always is polite and uses good manners.
