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: When will it be delivered?
Assistant: Thanks. I’ll check the small first and then we can deal with the rest.
Customer: Okay. Could you explain how the colour works here?
Assistant: Sure. In this case, the colour depends on the trousers.
Customer: Could I check one thing? I don’t want to misunderstand the timing.
Assistant: Exactly. After that, we’ll record the medium and you’ll receive confirmation.
Customer: I’d like to return this.
Assistant: That’s a good question. If the delivery changes, let us know as soon as possible.
Customer: Got it. I also have the card with me in case you need it.
Assistant: That would be useful. You may not need it now, but it can save time later.
Customer: Where are the changing rooms?
Assistant: Absolutely. Let’s go through the fit slowly so you know exactly what it means.
Customer: Thanks. The vocabulary is actually easier when I can connect it to the situation.
Assistant: That’s a good approach. Listen for the refund, the time or number, and the action you need to take.
Customer: Could you recommend something similar?
Assistant: If you need to follow up, refer to the price so the next person can see the history.
Customer: Before I go, can I confirm the changing room as well?
Assistant: Yes, the changing room is unchanged. You’re all set.
Customer: Could you also show me where the jacket appears? I want to recognise it next time.
Assistant: Of course. You’ll usually hear “jacket” together with a date, number or next action. If you miss it, ask the person to repeat that specific part.
Customer: Perfect. That answers my questions. Thanks for explaining it so clearly.
Assistant: No problem at all. Take care.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre probarte ropa, 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 “small”, “colour” o “trousers”. 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”.

✓ 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 small.
