I know inculcar can be inculcate or instill. But how would you put the phrase? I kind of think it sounds better to say "inculcated a sense of work" instead of just "work". What do you think? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks!

"inculcate" is extremely formal and not used as much as "instill" IMO

crec� en una familia que me inculc� el trabajo
...that ingrained in me a strong work ethic
I agree with instill but I think ingrain is another very good option. Also, for the first part, you could say raised or brought-up too (I was raised by a family...)
