What we covered

Conversation

Daniel described his workday, with calmer mornings and busier afternoons, and said he usually finishes between five and seven. A short vocabulary test reviewed traductor, asustado, salvaje, semáforo, and navegador. Daniel then compared firefighters with police officers and farmers with waiters, practicing comparisons and workplace descriptions.

The latter part of the lesson moved into investment and company vocabulary: stakeholders, shareholders, shares, stock markets, pension funds, valuations, and companies listed on the exchange. Argentine companies and ticker symbols were used as real-world examples.
