Why Business Spanish

Spanish is not just
a language. It’s an edge.

There are over 580 million Spanish speakers in the world. Latin America represents one of the fastest-growing economic regions on the planet. Costa Rica, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru — these are markets where deals are made in Spanish, relationships are built in Spanish, and trust is earned in Spanish.

Yet most executives who work in these markets communicate through translators, rely on bilingual colleagues, or get by with broken phrases and a lot of goodwill. They are leaving value on the table — in every meeting, every negotiation, every client dinner.

Business Spanish lessons at SpanishFluent are designed to change that. Not with a generic course — but with a personalized, one-on-one coaching program built around your industry, your goals, and the real professional situations you face every week.

Lesson Content

What we cover
in your sessions.

Every lesson is built around your specific needs. Here are the core topics most business students work on — your program will be shaped around which of these matter most to you.

🤝
Meetings & Presentations

Run meetings, present proposals, and lead discussions with confidence. Key vocabulary for openings, transitions, and closing remarks.

💬
Negotiations

Persuasion language, making offers, pushing back professionally, and closing deals. The phrases that make the difference between agreeing and winning.

✉️
Emails & Written Communication

Professional email templates, tone register, and formal vs informal written Spanish. How to write like a native, not like a translator.

📞
Phone & Video Calls

Opening, navigating, and closing calls in Spanish. How to handle fast speech, interruptions, and technical difficulties without losing your footing.

🌎
Latin American Business Culture

Relationship-building, hierarchy, punctuality norms, small talk, and the cultural signals that separate a successful deal from a failed one.

🏭
Industry-Specific Vocabulary

Finance, tech, manufacturing, legal, healthcare, real estate — your lessons can be tailored to the vocabulary of your specific sector.

“After six sessions with Gabriela I was running our weekly meeting in San José entirely in Spanish. My Costa Rican colleagues’ reaction was worth every dollar I spent.”

How It Works

Simple process.
Real results.

01
Tell Gabriela about your work

A brief email or call to explain your role, industry, the Spanish-speaking markets you work in, and your most pressing communication challenges. This takes 5 minutes and shapes everything that follows.

02
Receive your custom lesson plan

Gabriela designs a session structure built around your specific vocabulary gaps, your current level, and the real situations you face at work. No generic curriculum — just what you need.

03
Start speaking from session one

Every lesson is practical from the first minute. Role-plays, real email drafts, mock presentations — not grammar exercises. You leave each session with something you can use at work immediately.

04
Progress at your pace

One or two sessions per week for steady progress. Intensive scheduling for urgent deadlines — a trip, a product launch, a key client meeting. Corporate invoicing available on request.

“I needed to present our Q3 results to our Latin American board in Spanish. Gabriela built the entire session around that presentation. It went perfectly.”

Managing Director · London, UK

Questions about
Business Spanish

Everything you need to know before booking your first session.

No minimum level is required. Gabriela works with complete beginners who need to start from scratch in a professional context, as well as intermediate speakers who already have a foundation but need to develop the vocabulary and confidence for high-stakes business situations. Before your first lesson, she will ask a few questions to understand your starting point and design the session accordingly.

Yes, absolutely. Whether you work in finance, technology, manufacturing, legal services, healthcare, or real estate — your lessons can incorporate the specific vocabulary and communication patterns of your sector. Simply let Gabriela know your industry and the types of situations you need to handle in Spanish, and she will build the content around that.

Most students notice a meaningful improvement in their confidence and vocabulary after just three to five sessions. For executives with a specific deadline — a trip to Latin America, a key presentation, a client meeting — Gabriela can design an intensive program that delivers focused, practical results in a short period of time. Progress depends on your starting level and how often you practice between sessions, but the feedback from business students is consistently that one session with Gabriela produces more practical progress than months of self-study.

Yes. If your company is covering the cost of your Spanish coaching — whether as part of a professional development budget or a relocation package — corporate invoicing can be arranged. Contact Gabriela directly at gabriela@spanishfluent.com to discuss your company’s invoicing requirements.

SpanishFluent specializes in private one-on-one coaching, which consistently produces better results than group training for professional language development. If you have a small team that needs Spanish coaching, the most effective approach is individual sessions for each person. For companies interested in arranging sessions for multiple employees, contact gabriela@spanishfluent.com to discuss scheduling and billing arrangements.

In regular Spanish lessons the content is general — conversation practice, grammar, everyday vocabulary. In Business Spanish every session is focused on professional communication: the language of meetings and negotiations, written correspondence, presenting data, managing teams, and navigating the cultural expectations of Latin American business environments. The vocabulary, the role-plays, and the examples are all taken directly from the professional world you work in.

Yes — and this is one of the most valuable aspects of working with a native teacher. Understanding the cultural dimensions of business in Latin America — how relationships are built before deals are made, how hierarchy affects communication, how directness is perceived differently across countries — is just as important as knowing the right vocabulary. Gabriela integrates this cultural knowledge naturally into every session, drawing on her experience as a native Costa Rican and a decade of teaching professionals from the US and Europe.

Yes. Many students find that a mix of professional and general content works best — for example, 70% business vocabulary and 30% conversational practice for life outside the office. Since every lesson is personalized, Gabriela can blend both approaches in whatever proportion works best for your situation. Just tell her what you need and she will structure the sessions accordingly.

¡Hasta pronto, mae!
