REGLA/RULE #4 APRENDE A SER UN(A) BUEN(A) CONVERSADOR(A) (BE
A GOOD CONVERSATIONALIST):
As a good conversationalist, you will want to ask lots of open-ended
questions that encourage your chat partner to give more information.
Example:
COMPAÑERO: Yo no voy a mi clase de inglés hoy.
TU: ¿No? ¿Por qué?
COMPAÑERO: Yo vivo en Raleigh, North Carolina.
TÚ: Qué chévere. ¿Cómo es Raleigh?
Don’t overtly correct your partner, unless
he/she asks for clarification. If you do not understand what your partner
is saying, ask him/her to
repeat or rephrase, or model the structure for him/her.
Example:
-- Nosotros vamos al cine ayer...
No digas: -- Se dice FUIMOS al cine ayer, ¡no VAMOS!
Mejor decir: Ah, ¿sí? Pues nosotros fuimos a Plaza las Américas...
Para pedir clarificación: -- No sé qué quieres
decir con…
(I’m not sure I know what you mean by….)
¿Qué debo hacer si... (What should I do if…)
** No puedo entrar al salón de charla, la página
web no abre, o cae el servidor?
(I can't get into the chatroom, the page won't
load, or the server is down…?)
