Diálogo realista
Employee: I’m writing to give formal notice.
Colleague: Thanks. That gives me the context I need.
Employee: My proposed last day would bethat
Colleague: Thanks. That gives me the context I need.
Employee: Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that. Could you say it again?
Colleague: Of course. I’ll say it more slowly.
Employee: I’d like to make the handover as smooth as possible.
Colleague: Of course. Let me help you with that.
Employee: I can have that ready bythat
Colleague: Thanks. That gives me the context I need.
Employee: I appreciate the feedback.
Colleague: Thanks. That gives me the context I need.
Employee: Before we finish, I want to make sure I understood the important part.
Colleague: Of course. Repeat the key information in your own words, and I’ll tell you if anything needs correcting.
Employee: Okay. If I miss a word, is it fine to ask the other person to repeat just that part?
Colleague: Absolutely. You can ask them to repeat it, say it more slowly, or write it down if that would help.
Employee: That’s useful. I sometimes understand the general idea but worry that I missed one important detail.
Colleague: That happens often. Focus first on names, times, numbers, places, and the action you need to take next.
Employee: So I don’t need to understand every single word to keep the conversation moving.
Colleague: Exactly. A short clarification question is usually better than guessing or staying silent.
Employee: And if I need a moment to think, can I say something like “Let me check”?
Colleague: Yes. “Let me check,” “Give me a second,” and “Just to confirm” are all natural ways to buy a little time.
Employee: Great. I feel much more confident about handling this kind of conversation now.
Colleague: Good. Keep the useful phrases short, practise them out loud, and adapt them to the details you actually need.
Employee: No, that covers it. Thanks for your help.
Colleague: You’re welcome. Have a good day.
Cómo suena en inglés natural
Escuchá la función, no cada palabra
En una conversación sobre despedirte del equipo, 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
