🧩 A2 Dialogue — Learning a New Job (Apprenticeship)
Focus: feelings, tasks, mistakes, practice routines, and progress.
Hi Daniel. How was your day at the apprenticeship?
Hi Maria. It was busy, but good. I learned a lot today. What about you?
Same. I feel tired, but I’m happy. Today my supervisor showed me how to use the new system.
Oh, the computer system? I used it yesterday and I made a few mistakes.
Really? What happened?
I entered the wrong number in one form, so the order was incorrect. My mentor noticed it quickly, and we fixed it together.
That’s good. My mentor is kind too. She says it’s normal to make mistakes in the beginning.
Yes, exactly. At first I felt nervous, because everything is new. The office is fast, and people talk so quickly.
I know! Sometimes I understand, and sometimes I don’t. When I don’t understand, I ask them to repeat.
What tasks did you do today?
I answered simple emails, I wrote notes from a meeting, and I prepared some documents. It was not difficult, but I had to be careful.
Sounds useful. I helped in the storage room today. I checked products, I printed labels, and I packed two small boxes.
Are you working with many people?
Not many. Mostly with my mentor, Alex, and one other apprentice. They are friendly, but I’m still shy.
Don’t worry. It takes time. I was shy last week, but now I talk more.
What is the hardest part for you?
Time management. I want to do everything perfectly, so I work slowly. My mentor told me, “First do it correctly, then do it faster.”
That’s a good rule. For me, the hardest part is remembering all the steps. There are so many small details.
How do you practice after work?
I write a short list of new words and new actions. Then I read it at home. And you?
I watch short videos about the job, and I take notes. I also ask my mentor one question every day.
Nice. Are you enjoying it so far?
Yes. I feel more confident than last week. And I like learning something new.
Me too. It’s challenging, but I think we will get better soon.
Definitely. Let’s keep going!
