It is just between his classmates/teaching group, but I think it'd be a nice thing to be able to greet & welcome someone in their native tongue. (He is actually learning Spanish as a language)
No morons, please.

I used to work in a primary school, and when I took a register, the children had to answer in a different language. This was just to get them used to it and for a bi of fun. here are a few we used to use.........
Spanish:- hola, adiós
German:- hallo, Auf Wiedersehen
Dutch:- hello, vaarwel
French:- bonjour, au revoir
Greek:- γειάσου, αντίο
Italian:- ciao, arrivederci
Portuguese:- hello, adeus
Welsh:- Dydd da, hwyl
found the site below for you, it has amazed me at how many different ways hello can be said!!!!

I can say and spell it in four languages (counting English).
French: Hello- Bonjour/Salut
Goodbye- Au Revoir/Ciao
Spanish: Hello- Hola
Goodbye- Adios
Latin: Hello- Salvet
Goodbye- Vale(With macrons)

I was going to be clever and cut and paste from a website but there are too many to list on the site I found ... that was just for Hello. There's about 800, perhaps you'd like to check it out yourself. Here's the link.

to complete an answer above though, the Japanese term for goodnight is ... konbanwa
Japanese for goodbye is .... sayonara (sigh on arra)
Here's a one I haven't seen either on the website or the answer from the person who did cut and paste.
Geordie - Aareet.

SPANISH: hola (OH-lah)/adios (ah-DEE-ohss)
HAWAIIAN: aloha/aloha
JAPANESE: konnichiwa (KO-knee-chee-wah). Don't know "goodbye," sorry.
ITALIAN: Buon giorno (bon JOR-know). It actually means "good day," but is used commonly as a greeting.
Hope this helps!

this is too sad... the only too langages I know are spanish and Italian...
Spanish:
Hello=Hola
GoodBye/Bye= Adiós/Chau (it depends the country)
in Argentina (where I live) we say Chau.
Italian:
Hello=Ciao
GoodBye/Bye=Adio/Ciao (Ciao I think is more common)
