Hi Lara!

As you didn´t specified the languages that you want I´ll help you as I can.. I´m a portuguese speaker, so if you wanna say 'hello, how r u?' say:"olá, como vai você!?".
Anothers greetings to you:
"Is everything ok with you?" = "Está tudo bem com você!?"
answer informal: "It´s ok, fine" = "tudo tranquilo" or "sussa"

I hope been usefull... cya!
