Spanish for English Speakers: Episode 10 - Talking About Jobs

in #spanish7 years ago


¡Hola amigos de Steemit!

Jobs are another topic that's likely to come in conversation, so here are a few phrases to help you.

¿Cuál es tu profesión? - What's your occupation/profession?

¿A qué te dedicas? - What do you do for a living?

¿En qué trabajas? - What work do you do?

¿Dónde trabajas? - Where do you work?

Soy ... - I am ... (remember: you don't need the indefinite article between soy + job.)

actor/actress - el actor/actriz, baker - el panadero/la panadera, chemist - el químico/la química, doctor - el médico/la médica, engineer - el ingeniero/la ingeniera, firefighter - el bombero/la bombera, gardener - el jardinero/la jardinera, hairdresser - el peluquero/la peluquera, interpreter - el/la intérprete, journalist - el/la periodista, lawyer - el abogado/la abogada, musician - el músico/la música, nurse - el enfermeno/la enfermena, optician - el óptico/la óptica, postman - el cartelo/la cartela, railwayman - el diputado/la diputada, scientist - el científico/la científica, teacher - el profesor/la profesora, unemployed - (el) desempleado/(la) desempleada, vet - el veterinario/la veterinaria, writer - el escritor/la escritora.

For example: Soy bombera. - I am a firefighter (female).

Where do you work?

Trabajo en + name of company = Trabajo en Tesco's. - I work at Tesco's.

Trabajo en + un/una + type of workplace = Trabajo en un hotel. - I work in a hotel./Trabajo en una oficina. - I work in an office.


It's that simple! These phrases are an essential for getting to know somebody in Spain, and hopefully they were delivered in a fun, easy way! I tried to include a variety of jobs, but if I missed out yours just let me know and I'll add it. Thanks for reading!
