Hablamos de mi profesión.

Hablamos is the present tense form of hablar for nosotros/nosotras: we speak / we are speaking / we talk.

So Hablamos de mi profesión means We talk about my profession or We are talking about my profession, depending on context.

A useful thing to know: hablamos can also be the preterite form (we spoke) in some contexts. Native speakers usually understand which meaning is intended from the situation or from time words.

For example:

• Ahora hablamos de mi profesión. = Now we’re talking about my profession.
• Ayer hablamos de mi profesión. = Yesterday we talked about my profession.

Spanish often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

• Hablamos already tells you it means we talk / we are talking
• So nosotros hablamos is usually unnecessary

You can add nosotros if you want to emphasize we:

• Nosotros hablamos de mi profesión, no de la tuya.
  = We’re talking about my profession, not yours.

In normal conversation, leaving it out sounds natural.

Because the verb hablar often uses de when it means to talk about something.

• hablar de algo = to talk about something
• hablar de alguien = to talk about someone

So:

• Hablamos de mi profesión = We talk about my profession

This is different from English, where you use about. In Spanish, you usually use de with hablar in this meaning.

Compare:

• Hablamos de música. = We talk about music.
• Hablan de su familia. = They talk about their family.

Yes. Hablar has a few common patterns, and they mean different things:

• hablar de = to talk about
• hablar con = to talk with
• hablar en = to speak in
• hablar español = to speak Spanish

Examples:

• Hablo de política. = I’m talking about politics.
• Hablo con mi amiga. = I’m talking with my friend.
• Hablo en inglés. = I speak in English.
• Hablo español. = I speak Spanish.

So in your sentence, de is there specifically because the idea is about my profession.

Because mi without an accent is the possessive adjective meaning my.

• mi profesión = my profession

Mí with an accent is a pronoun used after prepositions, meaning me:

• para mí = for me
• sin mí = without me

So:

• mi profesión ✅
• mí profesión ❌

This is a very common point of confusion for English speakers.

Not exactly.

Profesión usually means profession in the sense of a person’s field, career, or type of professional occupation. It can sound a little more formal or broad than trabajo.

Trabajo usually means job or work.

Compare:

• Mi trabajo = my job
• Mi profesión = my profession / career field

For example, someone might say:

• Mi profesión es la medicina. = My profession is medicine.
• Mi trabajo actual es en una clínica. = My current job is at a clinic.

So profesión is often about the kind of profession you have, while trabajo can refer more directly to the specific job you do.

The accent mark shows where the stress goes: pro-fe-SIÓN.

Without going too deep into spelling rules, the written accent is needed because the word is stressed on the last syllable.

So you pronounce it roughly like:

• pro-fe-SYON

The accent mark is important in writing because Spanish uses them to show correct stress and sometimes to distinguish words.

In most of Latin America, the ll in hablar is pronounced like a y sound in English.

So hablamos usually sounds roughly like:

• a-BLA-mos

The h is silent, and the bl is pronounced together.

A few pronunciation notes:

• h = silent
• ha sounds like a
• bl as in blanco
• mos like mohs

In some regions, ll and y may sound slightly different, but for most learners, treating ll like an English y is a good starting point.

Yes. That would also be correct, but it emphasizes the action as in progress.

• Hablamos de mi profesión = We talk about my profession / We are talking about my profession
• Estamos hablando de mi profesión = We are talking about my profession

In many everyday situations, Spanish uses the simple present where English might prefer the progressive.

So Spanish often says:

• Hablamos de eso ahora.

Where English might say:

• We’re talking about that now.

Both versions are correct, but estamos hablando is more explicitly right now / in progress.

Yes, depending on what you mean. Some common alternatives are:

• trabajo = job / work
• carrera = career
• oficio = trade / craft
• ocupación = occupation

Examples:

• Hablamos de mi trabajo. = We talk about my job.
• Hablamos de mi carrera. = We talk about my career.
• Hablamos de mi oficio. = We talk about my trade.
• Hablamos de mi ocupación. = We talk about my occupation.

These are not always interchangeable, so the best choice depends on context.

Yes, it can, depending on context.

The form hablamos can mean either:

• we talk / we are talking (present)
• we spoke / we talked (preterite)

Spanish sometimes has forms that look the same in different tenses. To know which one is meant, you usually rely on context or time expressions.

For example:

• Hoy hablamos de mi profesión. = probably Today we’re talking about my profession
• Ayer hablamos de mi profesión. = Yesterday we talked about my profession

So by itself, the sentence is a little ambiguous, but in real conversation the intended meaning is usually clear.
