Mission 1 · Continuing a first meeting
This is a review and application lesson where you recall and use what you've learned. Look at the meaning first and say it, then check the answer and pronunciation. The daytime greeting is こんにちは. The last character は is pronounced 'wa' in this greeting. ありがとうございます is a polite way to say thank you. またね is a casual expression used among close friends. The は in 私は is pronounced 'wa' when it's a particle. Ending the sentence with です makes it polite. よろしくお願いします is often used to politely say 'Nice to meet you' when meeting someone for the first time.
