Diálogo realista
Customer: Hi. I’m not completely sure what the next step is, so I wanted to check with you.
Assistant: No problem. Let’s start with the most important point.
Customer: Can I pay by card?
Assistant: Okay. The first thing we should look at is the size.
Customer: I have that. I’m less certain about the refund.
Assistant: Sure. In this case, the refund depends on the cash.
Customer: Let me repeat that back to make sure I understood you correctly.
Assistant: Yes, that’s right. Once the exchange is confirmed, there shouldn’t be any other action for you today.
Customer: Is there another option?
Assistant: That’s a good question. If the product changes, let us know as soon as possible.
Customer: That helps. Should I keep the discount available for the next step?
Assistant: Yes. It’s better to have it ready, especially if we need to verify a detail.
Customer: How much is it?
Assistant: Sure. The fit is simpler than it sounds; there are only two things to remember.
Customer: That’s helpful. I understand the general idea; I just want to avoid missing one important detail.
Assistant: Exactly. You don’t need every word. Focus on the recommendation and any instruction that follows it.
Customer: Do you have this in a different size?
Assistant: For a follow-up, keep the delivery somewhere easy to find.
Customer: Okay, I’ll do that. And the receipt stays the same, correct?
Assistant: That’s correct. The receipt stays exactly as discussed.
Customer: Before we finish, could you give me one example using “price” so I know I understood it?
Assistant: Of course. You’ll usually hear “price” together with a date, number or next action. If you miss it, ask the person to repeat that specific part.
Customer: Thanks. I’ve written down the main points, so I should be all set.
Assistant: No problem at all. Take care.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre pedir recomendaciones al comprar, 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
“Just to confirm…” y “So, if I understood correctly…” son recursos normales en inglés profesional y cotidiano. Sirven para reducir errores, no para demostrar inseguridad.
Usá bloques de lenguaje reutilizables
No memorices el diálogo completo. Elegí dos frases del bloque anterior y combinalas con vocabulario como “size”, “refund” 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 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 size.
