Diálogo realista
Alex: Hello. I have a quick question before we get started.
Morgan: Sure. What would you like to check first?
Alex: What would be the best next step?
Morgan: Thanks. I’ll check the feedback first and then we can deal with the rest.
Alex: That part is clear. My question is really about the project.
Morgan: Sure. In this case, the project depends on the meeting.
Alex: I want to make sure I’ve got the details right before I continue.
Morgan: Exactly. After that, we’ll record the update and you’ll receive confirmation.
Alex: Just to confirm, we’re talking about hablar con tu jefe.
Morgan: The only thing to watch is the priority, because that can affect the timing.
Alex: That helps. Should I keep the deadline available for the next step?
Morgan: Yes. It’s better to have it ready, especially if we need to verify a detail.
Alex: That works for me.
Morgan: Absolutely. Let’s go through the task slowly so you know exactly what it means.
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 role and the next action is usually enough.
Alex: I want to make sure I understood correctly.
Morgan: For a follow-up, keep the experience somewhere easy to find.
Alex: Okay, I’ll do that. And the salary stays the same, correct?
Morgan: Yes. Nothing else changes there.
Alex: Before we finish, could you give me one example using “availability” so I know I understood it?
Morgan: Yes. Think of “availability” 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: Thanks. I’ve written down the main points, so I should be all set.
Morgan: You’re welcome. Have a good day.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre hablar con tu jefe, 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 “feedback”, “project” o “meeting”. 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 feedback.
✓ Could you tell me about the feedback, please?
Agregar could y please hace que un pedido de información suene mucho más natural.
