Communicating
With People
Service people speak English but few other Sayulitans speak English,
but they love it when you speak to them in Spanish. Any attempt is appreciated,
and they will never laugh or make fun of your effort. The traditional
greeting is "Hola", pronounced "oh--la", and "mucho
gusto" is their rendition of "Glad to meet you." "Gracias"
and "Por favor" can't be used too often. You will be able to
get by very well in the village without speaking Spanish as the people
are used to dealing with Americans and Canadians who speak none. All Puerto
Vallarta shop owners speak English. The Mexican handshake adds an extra
step to the American style by grasping each other's thumb after the shake.
