Choose a greeting suitable for the moment and include the person's name if you know it. A goodbye can include a friendly wish. Listen for the other person's response before leaving. A warm voice helps the words sound like a real greeting rather than a recited list.
Keep each exchange short, friendly and meaningful. A child can first respond with a gesture, then a word and finally a short sentence. Adults should model rather than interrupt every attempt. Reuse the language during a real activity, such as choosing a book or finding a pencil. Praise a clear message and select one small improvement for the next attempt. Confidence grows through successful communication, not through demands for long memorised speeches.

A help request explains the difficulty politely. Begin with please or excuse me, then name what you need. It is fine to say you did not understand. A clear request helps the adult or friend give the right support without guessing.
