Program narrative
Short bursts pair diagrams with spoken drills. You learn collocations that show up in postmortems, Terraform threads, and Kubernetes chatter—without memorizing unused buzzwords.
What ships in the syllabus
- Audio decks with Latin American and US engineer accents
- Matching games linking Spanish cognates to precise English terms
- Sentence frames for deploy freezes, rollbacks, and hotfixes
- Mini debates on “incident” vs “outage” vs “degradation”
- Flash sessions on metrics names (latency, saturation, error budget)
- Office hours for pronouncing acronyms without guessing
Outcomes you can demonstrate
- Describe a deploy path using five accurate verbs
- Ask clarifying questions about SLO language without blanking
- Keep up with a mid-speed standup that references infra components

Cohort questions
Includes an explicit limitation on scope.
Will we cover Spanish equivalents?
We highlight cognates and false friends, but live practice stays in English.
Is there homework?
Yes—short recordings three times per week with text feedback within 36 hours.
What is outside scope?
We do not certify cloud platforms; vocabulary supports communication, not exams.
Recent participant notes
“The hotfix vs rollback collocations finally stuck. I still mix up “saturated” and “throttled” when tired—that honest confusion was welcomed in class.”
