Diálogo realista
Alex: I’d like to make sure we’re aligned on the priority.
Jordan: Of course. Let me help you with that.
Alex: The main risk at this stage isthat
Jordan: Good. Let’s keep that in mind as we continue.
Alex: Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that. Could you say it again?
Jordan: Of course. I’ll say it more slowly.
Alex: Who needs to approve the next step?
Jordan: Absolutely. Let’s clarify that before we move on.
Alex: What would be the best next step?
Jordan: Absolutely. Let’s clarify that before we move on.
Alex: The key figure here isthat
Jordan: Good. Let’s keep that in mind as we continue.
Alex: Before we finish, I want to make sure I understood the important part.
Jordan: Of course. Repeat the key information in your own words, and I’ll tell you if anything needs correcting.
Alex: Okay. If I miss a word, is it fine to ask the other person to repeat just that part?
Jordan: Absolutely. You can ask them to repeat it, say it more slowly, or write it down if that would help.
Alex: That’s useful. I sometimes understand the general idea but worry that I missed one important detail.
Jordan: That happens often. Focus first on names, times, numbers, places, and the action you need to take next.
Alex: So I don’t need to understand every single word to keep the conversation moving.
Jordan: Exactly. A short clarification question is usually better than guessing or staying silent.
Alex: And if I need a moment to think, can I say something like “Let me check”?
Jordan: Yes. “Let me check,” “Give me a second,” and “Just to confirm” are all natural ways to buy a little time.
Alex: Great. I feel much more confident about handling this kind of conversation now.
Jordan: Good. Keep the useful phrases short, practise them out loud, and adapt them to the details you actually need.
Alex: No, that covers it. Thanks for your help.
Jordan: You’re welcome. Have a good day.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre hablar con stakeholders, 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
“Just to confirm…” y “So, if I understood correctly…” son recursos normales en inglés profesional y cotidiano. Sirven para reducir errores, no para demostrar inseguridad.
Usá bloques de lenguaje reutilizables
No memorices el diálogo completo. Elegí dos frases del bloque anterior y combinalas con vocabulario como “proposal”, “stakeholder” o “expectation”. Así podés adaptarte si la conversación cambia.
