Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces and universities, it’s common to give a brief ‘avances’ report at the start of a meeting. Using the inclusive ‘nosotros’ form (hablamos) signals teamwork, even if you are the only one presenting your own progress. In more formal settings you might replace ‘hablamos’ with ‘presentamos’ or ‘informamos’.
