Many of my students use "It's nice to meet you" as a greeting when they actually mean "It's nice to see you." In English, the two phrases have two clearly distinctive meanings. I'm assuming that they are using a literal translation of "见面." Is there a major difference in how 见面 or 看见 are used in Chinese? I'd like to make the differences in English clear but I want to make sure I am using clear examples in Chinese.
My students aren't English majors (and this year, none of them were undergraduate English majors either!) so subtle distinctions aren't that easy for them to understand.
Thanks.
I guess I'm looking for the best way to explain to my students the difference between "It's nice to meet you" vs "It's nice to see you." There's a very clear difference in English . . . is there a clear difference in Chinese?
In other words, what would the Chinese be for "It's nice to meet you" (first time meeting)?
What would be the Chinese for "It's nice to see you" (used when you see someone on the street as you are out shopping, etc.)?

我愉快地意志告诉你关于中文风俗。中国有很多传统节:端午节,新年节,民族文化节。中文节很有意思和好玩。你应该今年暑假到长城,长城有很多中文文化,很有意思。你也应该到北京吃烤鸭,很好吃!
It is meant to be in response to someone asking about Chinese customs and where to go on a trip to China.

What did you have for lunch yesterday? Is it "Ni zuotian zhongwu chi shenme" or "Ni zuotian zhongwu you shenme". Also for this sentence "What kind of beverages do you like?"
would it be "Ni xihuan he shenme yinliao" or "Ni xihuan he yinliao shenme".

我想试约会外国人,因为外语有意思。 我感到不该需要情侣有同的语言和文。其实,有外国的心上人是机会很好!
由于我长大在外国, 我常常自在谈得来外国人。 从小,交外国的朋很易,还我有意大利人“男友”了!

After graduating, i plan to study in America. I chose to study in America because my mom and dad graduate from university there. America has always been my favorite country since i was young because the place is very clean and the weather is nice.There is also no traffic and the people are very friendly. I really like the food also because it taste very delicious. I often go there with my family for holiday in the winter.I also have a house there so if i go there, i already have a place to stay. I want to go to college and then go to university. After graduating university, i want to find a job there.If i can get a job there, i want to stay there and work.
