Se me da bien / me cuesta: habla de tus skills tech (A2)
Dannis
How to talk about your strengths and difficulties in programming (A2). Tip: use simple sentences in the present tense to keep it clear.
Se me da bien + noun/infinitive = “I’m good at …”. E.g.: Se me da bien programar en Python.
Se me da mal / No se me da = “I’m bad at it / it doesn’t come easily to me”. E.g.: Se me da mal el diseño de interfaces.

Watch the plural: Se me dan mal los tests. (dan agrees with “los tests”).
Me cuesta + noun/infinitive = “it’s hard for me / I find it difficult”. E.g.: Me cuesta depurar código.

Soy bueno/a en + noun = “I’m good at …”. E.g.: Soy buena en bases de datos. (Remember gender agreement: bueno/buena).
Mini grammar: me = a mí (indirect object). In “Se me da…”, me indicates the person: Los tests se me dan mal.
Work culture: in Spain it sounds more natural and humble to say “Se me da bien…” than “Soy el mejor…”. Avoid showing off in interviews.
