Hola, in this podcast, you’ll practice an informal introduction in Spanish (using “tú”). I’ll ask a question and leave a pause for you to answer and then ask me the same question, or simply say: “And you?” After that, I’ll give you my answer and move on to the next question. If you need more time to think, pause the audio.

The questions you will practice are: 
¿Cómo te llamas? Me llamo (Mucho gusto / Mucho gusto también) (¿y tú?) 
¿De dónde eres? Soy de... / Soy + nacionalidad (¿y tú?) 
¿Dónde vives? Yo vivo en... (¿y tú?) 
¿A qué te dedicas? Soy... (¿y tú?) 
¿Qué te gusta hacer en tu tiempo libre? Me gusta + verbo en infinitivo (¿y a ti?) 
¿Qué idiomas hablas? Hablo... (¿y tú?) 
¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono? Mi número de teléfono es... (¿y el tuyo?) 
¿Tienes correo electrónico? Sí, mi correo es... (¿y el tuyo?) 

Let’s get started!

Forget the fancy suits and practiced answers.  Job interviews are about why, not what.  Why are you here? Why should we care?  The truth is, the scripted responses you rehearse might not resonate.  But what if you could tap into your authentic self, the one brimming with passion and ideas?  That's the power of mastering impromptu speaking.

Think of an interview not as an interrogation, but a conversation fueled by purpose.  Impromptu speaking allows you to sound natural and convincing.  It lets you ditch the script and dive straight into the wellspring of your "Why."  The interviewer throws a curveball question?  No problem.  You can think on your feet,  demonstrating your ability to adapt and solve problems –  essential skills in today's ever-changing workplace.

Imagine being asked about a weakness.  A scripted response sounds robotic.  But with impromptu fluency, you can talk about a past challenge, how you learned from it, and how that experience fuels your drive to succeed.  It's a story, not a statistic.  Stories connect.  They show your human side, your ability to overcome obstacles – all qualities that make you a compelling candidate. 

Confidence is another perk.  When you can speak confidently and articulately without a script, you project a powerful presence.  It shows you believe in yourself and your ideas –  the kind of person who inspires trust and gets things done.  So, ditch the memorization and embrace the impromptu.  It's not about having all the answers, but about the passion and purpose behind them.  That's the "Why" that will land you the job.

Don't wait for the interview to start honing your impromptu skills.  Start conversations with friends, family, or even strangers.  Challenge yourself to think on your feet and express yourself clearly.  Record yourself and watch it back.  Sign up for a session and we can focus on improving your impromptu speaking ability to make sure you get hired!
