Diálogo realista
User: Let me walk you through the workflow.
Support: Thanks. That helps narrow it down.
User: This step happens automatically.
Support: Thanks. That helps narrow it down.
User: Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that. Could you say it again?
Support: Of course. I’ll say it more slowly.
User: The system sends the data to the server.
Support: Thanks. That helps narrow it down.
User: The issue started afterthat
Support: Thanks. That helps narrow it down.
User: The file is still uploading.
Support: Thanks. That helps narrow it down.
User: Before we finish, I want to make sure I understood the important part.
Support: Of course. Repeat the key information in your own words, and I’ll tell you if anything needs correcting.
User: Okay. If I miss a word, is it fine to ask the other person to repeat just that part?
Support: Absolutely. You can ask them to repeat it, say it more slowly, or write it down if that would help.
User: That’s useful. I sometimes understand the general idea but worry that I missed one important detail.
Support: That happens often. Focus first on names, times, numbers, places, and the action you need to take next.
User: So I don’t need to understand every single word to keep the conversation moving.
Support: Exactly. A short clarification question is usually better than guessing or staying silent.
User: And if I need a moment to think, can I say something like “Let me check”?
Support: Yes. “Let me check,” “Give me a second,” and “Just to confirm” are all natural ways to buy a little time.
User: Great. I feel much more confident about handling this kind of conversation now.
Support: Good. Keep the useful phrases short, practise them out loud, and adapt them to the details you actually need.
User: No, that covers it. Thanks for your help.
Support: You’re welcome. Have a good day.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre reunión técnica, 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 “step”, “password” o “process”. Así podés adaptarte si la conversación cambia.
Errores comunes de hispanohablantes
✕ I have a doubt about this.
✓ I have a question about this.
Para una consulta concreta, “I have a question” es la opción natural.
✕ Can you repeat me that?
✓ Could you repeat that, please?
Con repeat, lo natural es usar directamente el objeto: “repeat that”.
✕ I need that you explain it.
✓ I need you to explain it.
Después de need se usa “person + to + verb”: “I need you to explain it”.
✕ What means this?
✓ What does this mean?
En preguntas con mean se usa el auxiliar does: “What does this mean?”

Preguntas frecuentes
¿Qué conviene practicar primero en esta situación?
Empezá por una frase para abrir la conversación, una para pedir o dar la información principal y otra para pedir aclaración. Después practicá el diálogo en voz alta.
¿Tengo que memorizar todas las frases?
No. Elegí primero tres o cuatro expresiones que realmente usarías, practicá el diálogo y después agregá alternativas.
