Working in Spanish is its own language. The grammar you studied shows up, but so do fichar, el curro, los asuntos propios and a meeting culture where the real decisions happen over coffee. This course walks the arc of a working week: the small talk that opens doors, the vocabulary of contracts and deadlines, the calls and group-chats, the emails that need the right register, the meetings where you have to push back — and the moment you finally get to vent about all of it.
Each step pairs a lesson with a short practice session built from its real sentences. Read the lesson, do the practice, and the next step unlocks. Start with the talk that makes colleagues into allies, end with the frustration phrases that keep you sane — used at the right strength, in front of the right people.
