1. Six Business Spanish Lessons on YouTube
1.1 How to write a cover letter in Spanish
https://youtu.be/oTXAijAO6DU
First, before the job interview, you must prove your writing skills to convince the company to hire you. This video will be helpful because you will see how to structure your cover letter, which elements to highlight, and learn precisely how to write an efficient cover letter. Note that the style can differ depending on the country.
This YouTube video is 17 minutes long and entirely in Spanish. Double benefit: you will improve your professional writing skills and understanding of Spanish.
1.2 How to write a professional email or letter
In addition to the cover letter, another essential point is to master writing professional emails or letters regardless of the aim. You might find yourself in a position where you will have to interact through email to ask for or provide further information. So here are two videos from the same teacher, Reyes.
Both are more than 10 minutes long and give essential details on structuring this formal writing. You will learn the critical elements that should appear in formal emails or letters, the right way to structure the script, and the vocabulary.
1.3 How to succeed in a job interview
https://youtu.be/k1LpBRmdmOg
The critical event before actually entering the professional world is the job interview. Already a challenge in your mother tongue, job interviews in Spanish get a bit more challenging. You have to know how to present yourself in Spanish. So, here are two classes to help you.
The first video, 14 minutes long, is about how to present yourself positively. Reyes, the teacher, provides you with all you need to do so. He stages a boss and employee to give context to his teaching. The class is in Spanish, but you can turn on subtitles since it’s a YouTube video.
The second video is also entirely in Spanish. It’s a role-playing of a job interview in Spanish. The teacher gets to the heart of the topic by putting the teachings in perspective. Then she gives you options to answer the questions. It’s an excellent addition to the first video.
1.4 How to speak of work and/or business
Once you’ve got the job, you will have to interact with your colleagues. So you need to know and use specific words and verbs. We found three classes that will provide you with all you need.
The first video will teach you the key phrases when speaking about work. As a result, you will be able to present yourself professionally.
The second one provides you with all the necessary vocabulary to talk about your tasks at work. The video contains more specific content and will allow you to expand your vocabulary.
Last but not least, the third video focuses on business-related topics such as contracts, a description of charts in Spanish, and a company description. A short but condensed video where you can learn to express yourself correctly.
1.5 How to negotiate in Spanish
Negotiation is a huge part of our daily lives since interacting with people means debating and therefore agreeing or disagreeing with the capacity to find a win-win situation.
The same applies to professional life. It could be to negotiate over professional opportunities and incomes or the costs and how they are be handled. From this perspective, we found two YouTube videos of teacher Reyes, both in Spanish.
In the first one, he tackles the question of agreements and disagreements. The second is a question of proper negotiation, mainly in trade, but it can be applied to any other area requiring negotiation.
1.6 Business Spanish Dialogue
If you want to put into practice what you learned or if you already know enough to understand a business conversation, you will like the two YouTube videos we found. The first video is a short business dialogue, which is slow enough to understand clearly. The conversation stages a business meeting in Spanish.
In the second video, “Learn Spanish Business Language in 45 minutes,” you will find a compilation of five videos. Two of them (the longest) are very interesting and better for improving your Spanish business skills since they are interactive exercises with dialogues.
2. Five YouTube Channels with Business Spanish Podcasts
Here’s an excellent technique to broaden your business vocabulary, improve your oral comprehension and your capacity to speak.
This option is recommended for the intermediate level since you need to understand what it’s about. We know business is a vast topic, so we selected four YouTube channels and one playlist full of podcasts on business in Spanish.
You will improve your business language capacity and expand your knowledge in digital marketing: four channels, four points of view, and four ways of expressing the content in Spanish.

3. Six Business Blogs, Newspapers and Radio in Spanish
One of the other ways to improve your business Spanish is definitely to read! You will learn precise vocabulary and structures.
- Diario negocio is a blog that covers a wide range of business topics, from management to marketing and economics.
- Expansión is a proper business newspaper with several articles on finance, legal subjects, economics, employment, and other topics.
- El economista is like Expansión but focuses more on the companies. Therefore, you will find articles on companies and all the internal functions of a company, but also finance and economics.
- Revista economia is an online magazine much more accessible to intermediate learners since it’s less specific than El economista or Expansión. This magazine focuses on business news, management, and tourism. You will find financial-related articles too.
- Capital radio is a business radio with many diverse topics. Capita Radio is an all-in-one solution. You have access to articles, programs, and podcasts.
- Emprender facil is an online radio that’s aimed at people who want to launch their own companies. For example, who will be in charge at the beginning of the project, and who will be responsible for handling all aspects?
