Is there a good way to say "Welcome back"?

I know you can say something like "bienvenido otra vez" or something like that, but it sounds so formal to me. Are there any familiar phrases out there I can use to say "welcome back"? I feel strange say "welcome to learn spanish" when I'm on lesson 4.10 by now. There aren't a lot of people that start with that lesson without going through at least a few of the others first, so I would rather welcome them back than welcome them as if I had never "seen" them before.

Me alegra que es de vuelta.

Gusto de verle nuevamente por acá.

Es un placer tenerle nuevamente aquí.

Bienvenido /a nuevamente.

Nuevamente es usted bienvenido/a.

Q bien que es de regreso.

Me alegra el poder tenerlo/a de nuevo en (place)

vag4bund0's options sound like normal Spanish to me, but in this case, unless you want to sound very ceremonious or formal, I'd go for a simple:

¡Hola de nuevo!

The option "Bienvenido de vuelta" sounds to me like a horrible word-by-word translation, sorry, because we don't have phrasal verbs like in English.

¡Hola de nuevo! I was going to suggest that so I guess my Spanish is improving, albeit slowly. - ian-hill, Aug 28, 2009

This is what I see when I login.

¡Bienvenido otra vez a SpanishDict! ¡Nos alegramos de verte otra vez!.

"Bienvenido de vuelta" is the opinion of this thread.

If I were you I would stick with what you have. Collins lists to "to welcome somebody back" as "Dar una buena acogida a alguien cuando regresa". But then again I suppose a simple "bienvenido/a" may suffice. wink

You can say "Welcome! I am happy that you are back."(Bienvenido! Me alegro de que usted está de vuelta.) This might make it sound more like you mean it, than a generic response.
