Diálogo realista
Alex: Hi, I was hoping you could help me with something.
Morgan: Sure. What would you like to check first?
Alex: I want to make sure I understood correctly.
Morgan: Thanks. I’ll check the manager first and then we can deal with the rest.
Alex: That part is clear. My question is really about the team.
Morgan: Yes. We normally confirm the team and then update the deadline.
Alex: Let me repeat that back to make sure I understood you correctly.
Morgan: Correct. The role is the final detail we need before moving ahead.
Alex: What would be the best next step?
Morgan: It depends on the availability. If that stays the same, the process is straightforward.
Alex: Got it. I also have the update with me in case you need it.
Morgan: Yes. It’s better to have it ready, especially if we need to verify a detail.
Alex: One example from my previous role is…
Morgan: Sure. The task is simpler than it sounds; there are only two things to remember.
Alex: That’s helpful. I understand the general idea; I just want to avoid missing one important detail.
Morgan: That’s a good approach. Listen for the interview, the time or number, and the action you need to take.
Alex: Would it be possible to…?
Morgan: If anything changes, contact us and mention the position. That will help us find your details quickly.
Alex: One last check: there’s no change to the schedule, right?
Morgan: Yes, the schedule is unchanged. You’re all set.
Alex: Before we finish, could you give me one example using “question” so I know I understood it?
Morgan: Yes. Think of “question” 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: Of course. Good luck with everything.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre entrevista de 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 “manager”, “team” o “deadline”. 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 manager.
