Why Learn Greetings in English?
English greetings are the gateway to all social interaction at school — a child who can say 'hello', 'thank you' and 'goodbye' in English makes an immediate positive impression on teachers and classmates. For ESL children whose home language uses a different greeting tradition (like Namaste in Indian languages), learning that 'hello' and 'good morning' carry the same warmth and respect in English is an important cultural bridge. Schools specifically look for these courtesy phrases as indicators of school readiness.
