A few words about TÚ and USTED (Ud.):

Usually, in most Latin American countries, there are two ways of addressing people: the informal “tú,” and the formal “usted.” It is a little confusing at first, but it will get easier with practice.

A word about “machismo” in Spanish language:

When you are speaking about a group of males, you say, “ellos” (them), when you are speaking about a group of females, you say, “ellas.” If there is a mix, you say, “ellos;” even if there are 1,000 females and one male, you still say, “ellos.”
