Job interview: Strengths and weaknesses

🇪🇸 Softening a weakness with un poco is the standard interview move in Spain. Name a mild flaw, then say how you deal with it.

💬 hace here is the formal "you do", and it is the same form as "he/she does". It can also be a question about someone's job, like English "What do you do?".

💬 para followed by a verb in its basic form means "in order to". For example, para aprender means "to learn".

💬 Spanish often uses con plus a noun where English adds -ly. For example, con cuidado means "carefully".

💬 Here le means the polite "you", and the present tense llamamos covers a near future plan. Spanish often uses the present this way: mañana le escribo "I'll write to you tomorrow".

💬 Literally 'the week that comes'. The same pattern works for other time words: el mes que viene "next month".

💬 Spanish often uses the present tense for planned near-future actions: llamamos literally means 'we call'. mañana le escribo "I'll write to you tomorrow".

💬 When thanking someone for something, use por: gracias por la ayuda "thanks for the help".

💬 tenga is the polite usted form used for wishes after que. The same pattern gives you que tenga un buen fin de semana "have a nice weekend".
