    24 advanced Spanish words to make your Spanish sound 

    more professional 
    absurdo | absurd
    Easy to remember because it sounds similar in English and Spanish. Since it is so easy be sure to use it three times
    today!

    espíritu deportivo | sportsmanship


    An important part of the Olympics and any game!
    Example sentence: “Agradezco el espíritu deportivo del equipo de baloncesto.”

    lograr | to achieve
    This word is used a lot in Spanish! Much more than you’d say ‘to achieve’ in English. Used to describe when you
    finish something, get to a goal, get to the finish line of a project, etc. Really listen to your Spanish-speaking
    colleagues and we bet you’ll hear this word a lot.

    reconfortante | comforting
    Example sentence: “Estaba muy preocupado pero la reunión era muy reconfortante.”

    copia oculta (CCO) | blind copy (BCC)


    Now if you need to ask someone to blind copy you on an email you know exactly what to say! And that is
    something you want to be sure is communicated clearly, right?

    abrocharse | to fasten
    Like to fasten your seatbelt or some other type of clasp or latch.

    un tanto | somewhat
    These adverbs, always a great way to make your language skills sound more complex!
    Example sentence: “Estoy de acuerdo con su argumento, un tanto.”

    empotrar | to embed
    So many uses for this word! In technology (empotrar en un sitio de web) or in medical needs (el insecto está
    empotrado en ella…) can you think of how you would use this Spanish word in your work?
    Example sentence: “La caja fuerte está empotrada en la pared.”

    apenas | hardly
    This is a great adverb to make your Spanish sound more complex. Try to use it twice today! (Even if it is just in
    your head or when chatting with friends.)

    esforzarse (en) | to strive for
    Striving to learn more Spanish? This word will help you articulate that to everyone around you. Shout it from the
    rooftops!
    Example sentence: “Me esfuerzo mucho en mejorar mi español.”

    ja ja ja | ha ha ha
    When writing laughing in Spanish write ja ja ja instead of ha ha ha. But, careful, laughing and humor are very
    cultural so don’t use it unless you feel that there is clear understanding.

    vault | bóveda
    You know, that big vault in your bank with all those gold bars! If you’re planning to rob a bank in a
    Spanish-speaking country be sure to know this word. Ja ja ja. There are other, more ethical, reasons to know the
    word too. :)

    premiar | to award
    It is always fun to give out awards and get awards so learn this word and then you can give an award to yourself!

    inesperado | unexpected
    Example sentence: “Con Macro Spanish, mi progreso rápido con el español fue inesperado.” Did you notice that
    plug for our specialized Spanish coaching? Couldn’t help it. Our clients really do use the word unexpected when
    they talk about their Spanish development. Want unexpectedly quick progress in your Spanish? Contact us today!

    sobresalir | to stand out


    We think a great way to stand out at work is to update your Spanish… but you’re already doing that!

    tormentoso/a | stormy
    You can use this to describe the weather, but also other things like the state of a relationship.

    apodo o alias | handle


    This is the handle like is used in social media (not the handle of a door), like @macrospanish

    de antemano | in advance
    Like in an email when you say “thank you in advance for...”
    “Gracias por todo que harás de antemano.” Sounds formal and polite!
    el comercio justo | fair trade
    El comercio justo combina buenos precios para los granjeros con estrictos estándares ambientales.

    asistir a | to attend
    This is a pretty basic vocab word, but we throw it in here because it is one of those dangerous false cognates - a
    word that sounds the same as an English word but does not mean the same thing! Asistir
    sounds like to assist, but it means to attend.
    Example sentence: “Asistí la universidad entre 2003 y 2008.”

    Super important word if you are working to explain any processes with other people. I mean, can you do anything
    without logging on these days?
    Example sentence: “Primero, ingrese en el sistema con su clave.”

    el anochecer | dusk
    “Era el anochecer cuando, al fin, salimos del parque después de nuestro día maravilloso.”

    untar | spread
    Used when talking about cooking. “Unté la mantequilla en la tostada. ¡Qué rico!”

    contradecir | to contradict
    Maybe you’ll have to say that you do or do not contradict someone. Regardless, this word could be the key to
    resolving conflict with clear communication!
