Depends on the setting.\nIn a business setting, it's the usual handshake, regardless of the gender of the person you are meeting.\n\nIn a casual setting, say your girlfriend introduces you to her female cousin, then its a kiss on the cheek.

WELL YOU MAY HIDE BEHIND YOUR LITTLE PICTURE AND AROUND THE ONES YOU MAY KNOW AS FRIENDS NOT TO LET YOUR RACE ISSUE OUT BUT GOD KNOWS WHO YOU ARE AND HE MAY NOT HAVE THE DOORS OPEN FOR YOU SINCE IT'S HARD TO EXCEPT IMMIGRANTS LIKE YOUR OWN SELF UNLESS IF YOUR A NATIVE AMERICAN. WELL I'VE SEEN WHITES, ASIANS, BLACKS,AND YEAH HISPANICS WORK AT TACO BELL.

I just don't know if you are referring Latinos as a whole or to an specific group. I know that must people that were born south of the USA, may speak the same way because after all Spanish is their native tongue, so when they move to speak English they may have sort of similar accent. Let me tell you something, not all "Latinos" are the same, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans are very different to the rest of Latinamerica.  You don't say to an Irish he is British or to a Canadian he is American or to a Basque he is Spanish. Culture shouldn't be an excuse to do something wrong, when you are allowed into another country you should learn their customs and traditions. To say that because of my culture i do this or that, is just a lame excuse to avoid responsibility.

When you walk into a room where people are already present (and you aren't crashing the room in any way), etiquette calls for someone already there to say hello to YOU, to WELCOME you.  However, etiquette aside, there is nothing wrong with you saying the first hello - or at least smiling.

In Latin America we have different ways to do it, but in Mexico we usually say "Bueno" (good) or "¿Diga?" (Talk?)... it also depends on your situation, if you are working then you'll answer "Gracias por llamar a xxxx" (Thanks for calling to xxxx)... it also changes from country to country, in some places they say "Aló" or "Hola"

Smile.  Be nice.  Don't wear dirty clothes.  Get a good haircut.  Keep your fingernails clean.  And most importantly if you want to meet someone say "hi" and smile.

As stated above, your location has a lot to do with the business you choose. If you are near a Large Latin community, I would focus on opening a store that is missing in that community. By us there are clothing shops and travel etc. If you want to combine that with cheap start-up cost, do a Latin consignment shop, or EBay seller. Take advantage of your Heritage right now. Good Luck!

I would offer them some coffee, tea or soda as peace making gesture.Of course you will want to spike it with ex lax or lobelia, either one will keep them occupied and out of the office enough, that you won't have to put up with their crap.An added plus is you will shine as the employee who is always there getting the job done.

Wear comfortable, broken in shoes.  Don't gossip or tell personal info to the guests (unless they ask).  Always keep a smile on your face, even if you don't mean it.  Treat your customers the way you would like to be treated, with respect.  Have fun!

you have to drive through the parking lot and you will see a large group of latino men, likely wearing cowboy hats. usually there will be at least one "spokes person" for their group that speaks more than mexican. sometimes they have women at home making tamales you can also but for a good price by the dozen. if that fails i've also noticed a crowd similiar to this at local 7-11s. but im just guessing.

Many companies like people who can speak both Spanish and English. You could make fliers saying, "Hola! Mi nombre es..." and translate it into English.

Check out this link, which offers the text in English and Spanish, so depending on what language, it can help you.\n\nhttp://www.quinceanera-boutique.com/invitations.php\n\nReally, it's just an outline and you can customize it with a prayer of your choice.  \n\nSo ask the family if they have special request. I would put all the names of the padrinos (sponsors) and damas & chambelanes.\n\nTime & date. \n\nUsually, these companies that make invitations will walk you through the text and what info they require.\n\nGood luck!

I think it depends on the culture..For example in Germany if you to a party where you know noone except the host then it is polite to wait for the host to introduce you before you talk to anyone!\nHowever I think its a mixture of both..if the newcomer is shy or feels uneasy they might be weary on introducing themselves then i would make the effort to introduce myself and make them feel more at ease.\nIf you bring someone to a party as your guest where they know noone then it is your responsibility to introduce them.\ni think theres many different situations and sometimes you just have to rely on your gut on who should do the introducing!

In the area where I live there are dances that play latin music.  A lot of Spanish speakers come to these dances because they enjoy dancing.  That might be a good place to start.

It is perfectly acceptable to ask your sponsor about any unique customs.  In general, good table manners, respectful conversation and dress are appropriate.  The specifics largely depend on the type of dinner you will attend.  If it is a small, private affair, then one acts as one might at any dinner party.  If it is a public feast then there may be additional considerations according to the traditions of the institution.\n\nI recommend reading De Brett's Guide to Modern Etiquette for a detailed discussion of dinner-related manners.  It is the de facto standard for British gentlemen.
