Diálogo realista
Alex: Hi, I was hoping you could help me with something.
Morgan: Of course. Tell me what’s happening and we’ll take it from there.
Alex: Could we go over the details for buscar trabajo?
Morgan: Right. Let’s start with the portfolio, because that usually determines the next step.
Alex: I have that. I’m less certain about the role.
Morgan: Yes. We normally confirm the role and then update the connection.
Alex: I want to make sure I’ve got the details right before I continue.
Morgan: Exactly. After that, we’ll record the vacancy and you’ll receive confirmation.
Alex: I’m currently exploring roles in…
Morgan: That’s a good question. If the opening changes, let us know as soon as possible.
Alex: Okay. I brought the salary too, because I wasn’t sure whether it was required.
Morgan: Yes, keep it handy. Someone may ask you to confirm it later.
Alex: I’m here because I need help with buscar trabajo.
Morgan: No problem. I’ll explain the manager in plain terms and then you can tell me if anything is unclear.
Alex: That’s helpful. I understand the general idea; I just want to avoid missing one important detail.
Morgan: Right. In a real conversation, catching the profile and the next action is usually enough.
Alex: Would it be possible to…?
Morgan: For a follow-up, keep the schedule somewhere easy to find.
Alex: One last check: there’s no change to the application, right?
Morgan: Yes, the application is unchanged. You’re all set.
Alex: Before we finish, could you give me one example using “message” so I know I understood it?
Morgan: Yes. Think of “message” as a keyword that tells you what information the other person needs. Once you hear it, respond with the relevant detail rather than a full explanation.
Alex: That’s much clearer now. I appreciate your time.
Morgan: You’re welcome. I’m glad we could sort it out.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre buscar trabajo, 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 “portfolio”, “role” o “connection”. 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 want that you check 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 portfolio.
✓ Could you tell me about the portfolio, please?
Agregar could y please hace que un pedido de información suene mucho más natural.
