Shopping & returns

Compare, ask for sizes, negotiate, return faulty items.

1Learn the essentials

Shopping conversations cover comparing, trying, paying and returning — mostly short, polite exchanges.

  • “I'm just looking, thanks” politely ends the offer to help.
  • Ask about fit: “Do you have this in a medium?”
  • Returns: “I'd like to return this — here's the receipt.”

2Warm up & speak

Phrase 1 / 6

Could I try this on?

¿Me lo puedo probar?

💡 'Try on' es solo para ropa; para lo demás, 'try out'.

Speak it, or skip ahead anytime.

3Lock it in
