Es lunes, un día laboral – It’s Monday (yay!) a work day.
Review Post: 3/31, 4/6, 4/13, & 4/18
I’ve promised you some business Spanish and that we would highlight weekly vocabulary around occupations this year.
We’ve set a good customer service base with the following words and phrases: (review the above posts)
Repaso:
trabajo – work or I work
Tengo una cita. – I have an appointment
¿En qué le puedo ayudar? – How can I help you?
¿En qué le puedo servir? – How can I serve you?
¿Cómo se llama? – What’s your name?
And using this question starter, we can swap out “apellido” and add many other words:
¿Cuál es su apellido? – What’s your last name?
¿Cuál es su número de teléfono? – What’s your phone number?
¿Cuál es su dirección? – What’s your address?
¿Cuál es su código postal? – What’s your zip code?
And an alternative to ¿Cómo se llama? is…
¿Cuál es su nombre? – What’s your name?
We also know how to get a client’s birthday:
¿Cuándo es su cumpleaños?
¿y el año?
Es mil novecientos setenta y ocho (1978)
Nuevo Vocabulario:
e-mail or…
correo electrónico
el internet or…
la red (informática)
una computadora – In Spain it’s a computador or an ordenador
monitor, ratón, teclado – monitor, mouse, keyboard
portátil or computadora portátil – laptop
mi trabajo – my work
una comapañía – a company
una empresa – a company/enterprise
negocios – business
trabajador/a – worker
empleado/a – employee
jefe/a – boss
gerente – manager
supervisor/a – supervisor
director/a – director
ejecutivo/a – executive
capataz – foreman
Action Steps: In your journal, write the answers to the questions from the audio (dictation)
Copy the business words that you’d like to have in your vocabulary into your journal. Perhaps write them 3 times each, saying the aloud as you do.
