Question 2 of 6 2.
Question Which is the suitable answer to the following statement:
How do you do?
Hint
Im Englischen wird die Frage „How do you do?“ nur bei einem ersten Kennenlernen verwendet. Die korrekte idiomatische Antwort ist ebenfalls die Frage „How do you do?“
Verwechseln Sie dies nicht mit „How are you doing?“, wenn diese Frage im present progressive gestellt wird, ist man tatsächlich am Wohlbefinden der Person interessiert.
Die richtige Antwort wäre hier: „Fine thank you, and you?“ -

Hello Peter. This is Joe, have you (met)?
There is no second chance for a first impression. If you're off to a bad start in this respect, later on it will be very hard to get back into your good graces.
Therefore, it makes sense to wise up on the ususal expressions in a foreign language useful in this context.
Typical phrases English-speakers use to introduce themselves to each other, are the following:
Nice to meet you, good to meet you, pleased to meet you, how do you do etc…
To practice and to have a good command of them makes sense as, when speaking in a foreign language, you will be nervous at the beginning of a conversation.
If you don't practice relevant expressions, it might happen, that you remain speechless, when push comes to shove.
