Diálogo realista
Customer: Hello. I’d like to go over a few details, if that’s okay.
Assistant: Of course. Tell me what’s happening and we’ll take it from there.
Customer: Could we go over the details for devolver un producto?
Assistant: Okay. The first thing we should look at is the replacement.
Customer: That part is clear. My question is really about the recommendation.
Assistant: Sure. In this case, the recommendation depends on the colour.
Customer: So, just to confirm, that means there is one more step after this, right?
Assistant: Exactly. After that, we’ll record the warranty and you’ll receive confirmation.
Customer: It stopped working after two days.
Assistant: That’s a good question. If the receipt changes, let us know as soon as possible.
Customer: Got it. I also have the discount with me in case you need it.
Assistant: Yes, keep it handy. Someone may ask you to confirm it later.
Customer: I’m here because I need help with devolver un producto.
Assistant: Absolutely. Let’s go through the card slowly so you know exactly what it means.
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 purchase and any instruction that follows it.
Customer: I’d like to return this item.
Assistant: If anything changes, contact us and mention the exchange. That will help us find your details quickly.
Customer: One last check: there’s no change to the size, right?
Assistant: Yes, the size is unchanged. You’re all set.
Customer: Before we finish, could you give me one example using “stock” so I know I understood it?
Assistant: Sure. In this context, “stock” is the detail people usually mention when they confirm the arrangement. You don’t need a long answer; a short confirmation is enough.
Customer: That’s much clearer now. I appreciate your time.
Assistant: You’re welcome. Have a good day.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre devolver un producto, 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
Si una respuesta contiene mucha información, repetí solo el dato importante con una pregunta corta. Eso mantiene el intercambio ágil y claro.
Usá bloques de lenguaje reutilizables
No memorices el diálogo completo. Elegí dos frases del bloque anterior y combinalas con vocabulario como “replacement”, “recommendation” o “colour”. 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 need that you confirm it.
✓ Could you confirm it for me?
Evitá copiar estructuras del español. En inglés cambian tanto la construcción como el registro de cortesía.
✕ Tell me the replacement.
✓ Could you tell me about the replacement, please?
Agregar could y please hace que un pedido de información suene mucho más natural.
