What you should know:
The reason that there are different variations of the same phrase, "What is your name?" ("¿Cómo se llama usted?" And "¿Cómo te llamas?" is because of the fact that the one with usted is formal, like what you'd say to one older then you, your teacher, your boss, etc. while the one without usted is informal, like what you'd say to a teen your age or your friend's friend.
Usted is one of the forms of the verb ser, or to be. Here is the complete chart, not including 'vosotros', which is used in Spain and will not be used in this book.
I- Yo
You- Tú
He- Él
She- Ella
You formal- Usted (Ud.)
Y'all formal- Ustedes (Uds.)
They- Ellos (If the group being referred to has at least one boy in it)
They- Ellas (If the group being referred to is all female)
Words like profesora (girl teacher) and profesor (male teacher) have different endings because they are referring to different genders. (-a for girls and no -a for guys)
Also, you noticed that some words have ñ in them, then that means that the word with the squiggly n in it (señor) makes an ny sound, like in the words union, onion, and canyon.
