Reviews
I already knew some legal vocabulary, but I found it hard to be precise when speaking Spanish in meetings, and sometimes I sounded unnatural or insecure. With this course, I’ve learned to express myself more clearly and to speak up with more confidence, using phrases that I know are correct in a professional context, instead of translating directly from my language. I recommend it to lawyers and other legal professionals.

I needed to become more fluent in Spanish in real work situations: phone calls, meetings with clients, and everyday conversations. The course is very practical and doesn’t waste time on theory. We worked on real examples and useful phrases you can use right away. I feel I’ve improved a lot when speaking Spanish at work.
