Did you notice the last parting greeting I used?
じゃあね。(Jā ne.)
じゃあね。See you. じゃあね。
The expression じゃあね is commonly used in informal situations.
It's an abbreviated form of じゃ、またね。where the また is omitted. じゃあね
Pronunciation note: notice the extended pronunciation of the vowel at the end of じゃあ. Listen again: じゃあ. This is a long vowel.
You should be aware of this expression, but for this lesson, you'll use じゃ、また。
