Final question for today :)
Mucho gusto en verla
This means nice to see you?
Maybe very obvious but I couldn't find many hits in Google with this sentence.. Maybe I spelt it wrong?
And how do you make it in the past tense?
r is this a standard phrase, for meeting (present) and parting (past)?

It should be a "de" instead of an "en".
A possible past tense could be: "mucho gusto de haberte visto"

Patuco, I just listenend again to the lesson and repeated it many times: they do say "en", I don't hear "de". It definitely sounds like "mucho gusto en verlo" or "enverlo". So I gues it must be "en verlo" then?" Literal "much pleasure in seeing you"?

Patuco, I don't know in Gibraltar, but I've heard "mucho gusto en verla" thousands of times. It's absolutely correct.

Yes you're right, "en" is completely correct. However, it's "de" instead of "en" in Gibraltar. Just another example of how Spanish changes depending on where it is spoken!
