Diálogo realista
Customer: Hi there. I need some help with this situation and I have the main information with me.
Assistant: Absolutely. Give me the key details and I’ll see what we can do.
Customer: Do you have this in a different size?
Assistant: Okay. The first thing we should look at is the price.
Customer: That part is clear. My question is really about the receipt.
Assistant: Of course. The easiest way to think about it is that the receipt comes before the cash.
Customer: Could I check one thing? I don’t want to misunderstand the timing.
Assistant: Correct. The order is the final detail we need before moving ahead.
Customer: When will it be delivered?
Assistant: The only thing to watch is the discount, because that can affect the timing.
Customer: That helps. Should I keep the refund available for the next step?
Assistant: That would be useful. You may not need it now, but it can save time later.
Customer: Could you recommend something similar?
Assistant: Sure. The card is simpler than it sounds; there are only two things to remember.
Customer: Thanks. The vocabulary is actually easier when I can connect it to the situation.
Assistant: Exactly. You don’t need every word. Focus on the size and any instruction that follows it.
Customer: Just to confirm, we’re talking about comparar productos.
Assistant: If you need to follow up, refer to the stock so the next person can see the history.
Customer: One last check: there’s no change to the exchange, right?
Assistant: Yes. Nothing else changes there.
Customer: Thanks. I’ve written down the main points, so I should be all set.
Assistant: Of course. Good luck with everything.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre comparar productos, identificá primero si la otra persona está pidiendo un dato, confirmando algo o indicando un próximo paso. Esa función te ayuda a responder incluso si no entendiste una palabra secundaria.
Confirmar es parte de una conversación natural
Pedir confirmación específica —un horario, un nombre o un paso— suena más natural que decir simplemente “I don’t understand”.
Usá bloques de lenguaje reutilizables
No memorices el diálogo completo. Elegí dos frases del bloque anterior y combinalas con vocabulario como “price”, “receipt” o “cash”. Así podés adaptarte si la conversación cambia.
Errores comunes de hispanohablantes
✕ I have a doubt about this.
✓ I have a question about this.
“I have a question” es la opción natural para introducir una consulta concreta.
✕ Can you repeat me that?
✓ Could you repeat that, please?
Con repeat, lo natural es usar directamente el objeto: “repeat that” o “say that again”.
✕ I want that you check it.
✓ I’d like you to check it.
Evitá copiar estructuras del español. En inglés cambian tanto la construcción como el registro de cortesía.
✕ Tell me the price.
✓ Could you tell me about the price, please?
Agregar could y please hace que un pedido de información suene mucho más natural.
