Prepare the questions that follow a workplace update
This lesson uses an informal team check-in between colleagues. If your workplace normally uses usted, keep the same message but choose the formal question forms used by your team. Replace the project, time, and task details with facts you could genuinely need at work.
Expect ¿En qué estás trabajando? or ¿Cómo va el proyecto? at the start of a team update.
Practise: Name one task and one result instead of listing every activity.
Your colleague may ask what is ready and when the next version will arrive.
Practise: Use ya for completed work, todavía for unfinished work, and a precise time for the next step.
A useful update includes the decision, file, or input you still need.
Practise: Ask one person for one concrete action and confirm when you need it.
Useful Spanish phrases and speaking cues
Say each complete phrase, read what it does in the conversation, and use the speaking cue to make the important sound or rhythm clearer.
A realistic beginning-to-end conversation
Read both roles once. Then cover the “You” turns and produce your own reply before checking the example.
Prepare for the question that changes the script
El cliente adelantó la reunión a las dos. ¿Puedes terminarlo antes?
The client moved the meeting forward to two. Can you finish it earlier?
Pause, answer the main point, then add one useful detail:
Puedo enviar una versión provisional a la una y la versión revisada después de la reunión.
I can send a provisional version at one and the revised version after the meeting.
Make the next reply easier to produce
- Group a status update into three short chunks: the current task, what is already complete, and what happens next. Clear pauses make the timeline easier to follow.
- Spanish vowels stay relatively stable. Keep the vowels in cifras, cliente, and borrador short and clear instead of turning them into English-style glides.
- Practise times and deadlines with the sentence around them. Before a real meeting, replace las cuatro and mediodía with the times you will actually need.
