Diálogo realista
Customer: Good morning. I’m here to sort out something and I want to make sure I explain it clearly.
Representative: Sure. What would you like to check first?
Customer: What information do you need from me?
Representative: Right. Let’s start with the repair, because that usually determines the next step.
Customer: Okay. Could you explain how the identification works here?
Representative: Yes. We normally confirm the identification and then update the deposit.
Customer: I want to make sure I’ve got the details right before I continue.
Representative: Yes, that’s right. Once the withdrawal is confirmed, there shouldn’t be any other action for you today.
Customer: Just to confirm, we’re talking about ir al banco.
Representative: It depends on the exchange rate. If that stays the same, the process is straightforward.
Customer: Okay. I brought the address too, because I wasn’t sure whether it was required.
Representative: That would be useful. You may not need it now, but it can save time later.
Customer: I’d like to cancel this service.
Representative: Sure. The card is simpler than it sounds; there are only two things to remember.
Customer: Perfect. I’m trying to focus on the key information instead of translating every word.
Representative: That’s a good approach. Listen for the reference number, the time or number, and the action you need to take.
Customer: What exchange rate are you offering?
Representative: For a follow-up, keep the support somewhere easy to find.
Customer: Before I go, can I confirm the contract as well?
Representative: That’s correct. The contract stays exactly as discussed.
Customer: That’s much clearer now. I appreciate your time.
Representative: Of course. Good luck with everything.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre ir al banco, 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 “repair”, “identification” o “deposit”. Así podés adaptarte si la conversación cambia.

✕ I have a doubt about this.
