Practice Calling Customer Service in Katalan
Customer service calls in Katalan are stressful even for natives — long menus, busy operators, and the frustration of a problem you've already explained twice. This scenario walks through the phone conversation: navigating the IVR ('press 2 for billing'), greeting the agent, explaining the issue, and asking for escalation if you're not getting anywhere. You'll practise the polite formulas for complaints, the verbs for 'to refund', 'to cancel', 'to escalate', and the strong-but-courteous language to use when you need to push back.
