A good luck message
Hello to all
Could anybody help me with an e mail i am writing to a spanish friend. He is preparing to do a speech on teaching practices, in Granada next week ,and I helped him with the pronunciation of the transcript in English. I am not familiar with the greetings of writing in Spanish, I would like to wish him good luck with the presentation and remind him not to be too nervous and to be himself. I am not sure how to start the e mail, other than hola mi amigo (i think this is too informal as we have only just met) and i don't know wether Abrazo would be too formal, as an older gentleman i don't want to come across over friendly but warm. an ever hopeful Ruby ![]() |

Would it be OK to say: que ten coraje, or does that sound funny.
I know that among some Latin Americans tener coraje means audacity or more commonly the nerve or even more commonly but vulgarly the balls.

Your usage of coraje is good, but is more used in difficult situation, I don't know if a normal presentation is so "hard". When it's the first one, or in a very important meeting, then yes.
"espero que tenga coraje como para someterse a una operación" "espero que tenga coraje suficiente como para hablar ante tanto público" "espero que tenga coraje como para enfrentarse a su familia" saludos ![]()

"Saludos" is also OK, but I prefer "muchos recuerdos" for friends.
I use saludos (like "greetings") for commercial friends. I don't "remember" or "pienso en " commercial friends. Saludos ![]()

![]() ![]() The truth is I'm exam-correcting and answering students' mails and text messages and although I love talking to them I need a break. And this sounds like fun. Having what you said in you post in mind,I would write something like: Hola (Name): Espero que estés bien. Estoy seguro de que la conferencia va a salir muy bien. Ten en cuenta que las personas que acuden a esos eventos tienen mucho interés y seguro que les enseñas algo nuevo. No te pongas nervioso aunque estés hablando inglés, simplemente intenta ser tu mismo y olvidar que estás usando una lengua que te resulta un poco más difícil que la tuya. Te deseo mucha suerte. Un saludo, (Your real name) Hope it helps.
