Some Conversation Starters about Work – in Spanish
When the time to practice comes, here is a list of questions you can ask your Spanish-speaking conversation partner. Their structure is slightly different than their English counterparts. Keep an eye on them!
¿En qué trabajas? / ¿A qué te dedicas? – What do you do?
¿Desde cuándo lo haces? / ¿Cuánto tiempo llevas haciéndolo? – For how long?
¿Antes de eso, qué hacías? – What did you do before?
¿Por qué decidiste hacer eso? – Why did you choose it?
¿Qué es lo mejor de tu trabajo? – What’s the best thing from your job?
¿Qué es lo peor? – What’s the worst thing?
¿Qué te gustaría hacer en 5 años? – What would you like to do in 5 years from now?
“Siempre sal de la oficina a tiempo”
For a final thought, I want to share with you this whiteboard image that became viral on the Spanish-speaking Internet.
It’s not a new thought but we all sometimes forget about it. When talking about work, we have to remember that there are other most important things in life. Take the advice: “Siempre sal de la oficina a tiempo”!
