Contracts have a language of their own. NDA, loophole, fine print, force majeure: these words come up in every negotiation, every vendor agreement and every data protection review, and getting one wrong can cost real money. So I’ve put the 100 that matter most into one free pack, with audio for every word.
It’s pack 3 of my seven free sector vocabulary packs, after HR and Finance. Each entry gives you the word or phrase, a plain-English definition, a real workplace example, a Spanish equivalent, its CEFR level and the course unit that teaches it. The list climbs from A2 to C1, so you can start where you are.
Listen to 10 of the 100
Press play on the word, then on the example. Pause and say it out loud before you move on.

Three ways to use it
- Listen, then say it. Play each word and its example, pause, and repeat it aloud. Ten words a day gets you through the pack in under two weeks.
- Cover and recall. Look only at the Spanish. Can you give the English term and use it in a sentence about a contract you know?
- Teach it in context. Every example is written in the grammar of the unit it’s tagged with, so teachers can drop a word straight into that lesson. A patent is granted for 20 years sits in the passive-voice unit (37%); the board resolution requires that the contract be signed by two directors sits in the subjunctive unit (89%).
Every word links to a full lesson
The 100 words are spread across 69 units of the course. Each tag points to a ready-to-teach deck with 12 vocabulary cards, grammar practice, three classroom games, a rapid poll, a simulation and a speaking task. Not sure which level you’re at? Take the free 15-minute level test.
