How to Say “Talk to You Soon” in Spanish

By •
hablamos pronto
/ablamos pɾonto/from spelling rules
The English phrase 'talk to you soon' is translated into Spanish as hablamos pronto.
hablamos pronto is a friendly way to say goodbye when you expect to speak with the person again in the near future. While it specifically implies that a conversation will take place, you might also use hasta pronto to say 'see you soon' in a more general sense.

Which one should you use?

hablamos pronto focuses on the act of speaking, whereas hasta pronto is a more general way to say 'see you soon' or 'until soon'. For a more professional tone, you can use Pronto nos pondremos en contacto to mean 'We will get in touch soon', which conveys that you will be the one to initiate contact.

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?

hablamos pronto is commonly used in informal or semi-formal settings among friends, family or colleagues. For a purely informal vibe among friends and peers, you can say ¡Hablamos pronto! or use the phrase Cuídate y hablamos to mean 'Take care and we'll talk'.

Is it said differently in some regions?

In Mexico, the informal expression Nos vemos al rato can be used to mean 'See you in a while'. In Spain, Hasta luego is used informally to mean 'see you soon' and Hasta la próxima is used informally to mean 'until next time'.

Did you know?

  • In many Spanish-speaking cultures, saying hablamos pronto is often a polite social convention rather than a concrete promise to have a specific conversation scheduled.
  • The word pronto shares a root with the English word 'prompt'. Both derive from the Latin 'promptus', meaning 'brought forth' or 'ready'.
  • Using hablamos without the word pronto is a very common shorthand in texting and messaging apps, functioning as a complete goodbye phrase on its own.
