Luna: Yeah, we love making this show for you, and listener support keeps it ad-free. Lucas: So first phrase: Jag har en bokning. That means 'I have a reservation.' Say it with me: Jag har en bokning. Luna: Jag har en bokning. Lucas: Perfect. You can use that when you walk up to the front desk. Luna: So if I have a reservation, I'd say 'Jag har en bokning.' Good. Lucas: Next: Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum. That's 'I would like a room.' Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum. That's a mouthful, but I'll get it. Lucas: You will. Let's break it down slowly: Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum. Lucas: Nice. Now, if you're staying just one night, you say: En natt, tack. 'For one night, please.' En natt, tack. Luna: En natt, tack. En natt. Lucas: Yes. So you could combine: 'Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum en natt, tack.' Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum en natt, tack. That flows nicely. Lucas: It does. Next, to ask the price: Hur mycket kostar rummet? 'How much does the room cost?' Hur mycket kostar rummet? Luna: Hur mycket kostar rummet? That's a classic question. Lucas: And finally, after you check in, they give you a key card. In Swedish: nyckelkortet. So you can say 'Nyckelkortet, tack' — 'The key card, please.' Luna: Nyckelkortet, tack. That sounds like a useful one. Lucas: Let's imagine a scene. Luna, you walk up to the desk. Luna: Hej! Jag har en bokning. Lucas: Oh, great. And you say 'Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum en natt, tack.' Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum en natt, tack. Lucas: Then you ask 'Hur mycket kostar rummet?' Luna: Hur mycket kostar rummet? Lucas: And I say 'Tusen kronor.' Then you say 'Nyckelkortet, tack.' Luna: Nyckelkortet, tack. And then I get my key and go to my room. Lucas: Exactly. Let's repeat all five phrases one more time. First: Jag har en bokning. Luna: Jag har en bokning. Lucas: Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum. Luna: Jag skulle vilja ha ett rum. Lucas: En natt, tack. Luna: En natt, tack. Lucas: Hur mycket kostar rummet? Luna: Hur mycket kostar rummet? Lucas: Nyckelkortet, tack. Luna: Nyckelkortet, tack. Lucas: Great job. Now you're ready to check into a hotel in Swedish. Luna: I feel like I can handle the front desk now. Thanks, Lucas.
