What is the difference "만나서 반갑습니다" and "처음 뵙곘습니다" ?
These two phrases, 만나서 반갑습니다 and 처음 뵙곘습니다 seem very similar to me. The book I am studying from gives these translations

만나서 반갑습니다 - Nice to meet you
처음 뵙겠습니다 - Pleased to meet your acquaintance; How do you do?

I was just wondering what is the main difference between these two phrases? And when do I use one or the other?

Answer

처음 뵙겠습니다 literally means "I am meeting you for the first time," and you only use it when you first make someone's acquaintance. 만나서 반갑습니다 is literally translated as "I am glad we met" and can be used any time you meet someone, even if you have prior knowledge of that person, i.e. 다시 만나서 반갑습니다 - It is nice to meet you again.
