Presenting your work at the office: Explaining results from a chart

💬 Spaniards often put un before a percentage, as in un diez por ciento "ten percent". It sounds natural, not wrong.

💬 The "they" is built into suben, so no extra word is needed. The opposite is bajan "they drop".

💬 Month names take a small letter in Spanish: marzo, abril "April".

💬 A plain present-tense question is the everyday way to ask a favour. Swap the verb to reuse it: ¿Me pasas el informe? "Can you pass me the report?"

💬 correo can mean either post or email, and in an office it almost always means email. The full form is correo electrónico.

💬 The "to whom" word comes first, then the "it": te lo, me lo. So it's me lo mandas "you send it to me".

💬 mismo usually means "same", but after ahora it adds emphasis, like "this very". Same idea in aquí mismo "right here".

💬 bueno shortens to buen before a masculine noun: buen trabajo, buen día "good day".

💬 In Spain the c in gracias sounds like English th: (GRAH-thyahs).

🇪🇸 Saying gracias a ti "thanks to you" after a compliment hands the thanks back. It's a warm, modest reply between colleagues.

🇪🇸 Spaniards say hasta luego as an all-purpose goodbye, even when they won't see you again that day.
