Say "Comment ca va," ('How goes it? ') or, a more familiar forms, "ca va" ('It goes? ') or "ca va bien? " ('It goes well? ').

The formal way is to say, "Comment allez-vous? " It is pronounced, "Co-mo ta-lay-voo? " A more informal way to ask is, "Comment vas-tu? " or "Comment ca va? " For the first meeting, the formal way is more appropriate.
