  sair taking an Espanol a new hotel. I don't know if I have mentioned
• 0:50
  it before, but my first full time job was at the front desk of
• 0:54
  an international hotel a la reception. They will not tell in international. I
• 1:00
  used to do the night shift. Oh crazy stories. So I'm sharing what
• 1:08
  I learned in my previous job with you. Mikido is to the Espanol.
• 1:14
  This episode it's all about helping you with basic greetings, phrases to check in,
• 1:19
  and understanding a basic dialogue at the front desk. And if you want
• 1:23
  to see the summary of this hotel episode, you can find it on our
• 1:27
  blog at www dot Latinelle dot com. I leave the direct link in the
• 1:34
  episode description. In case you don't want to miss any details of this episode.
• 1:40
  Are you ready for this? Yes? To immerse yourselves and this experience,
• 1:48
  you will first listen to a dialogue between two native speakers, a receptionist
• 1:53
  from a hotel in Till South America, ME and a newly arrived guest Jessica
• 2:00
  from Colombia. Pay close attention to the phrases that are used in a taking
• 2:05
  situation. Pay attention also to the greetings, how they talk about the reservation,
• 2:09
  how many nights they cannot bed, and general information about the hotel service.
• 2:15
  After listening to the dialogue, we will review the central phrases and vocabulary
• 2:21
  for taking in at a hotel en Espanol, and then we'll listen to the
• 2:25
  dialogue a second time to reinforce these contents. Here we go with the first
• 2:30
  listen. Buena starts being beneath a lottel Latin le and kill up whether you
• 2:46

  Concama, king un ces Movian socot citationem reception, It'll check out, okay,
• 3:47
  Bambo saver ki est dialogo. First listen lies the greeting? Was it
• 3:54
  formal? Informal? What was the greeting they use in this occasion? A
• 4:00
  little hint they greet each other in the afternoon. Well, that is a
• 4:08
  clear hint of what the greeting is. I'll give you a few seconds to
• 4:12
  think of your answers. The greeting in this hotel situation is formal. They
• 4:23
  greet each other with whenas sarvest, good afternoon, when as starves. If
• 4:30
  you're not sure how to use greetings and their degree of formality, you can
• 4:34
  listen to the episode one of this show. Then they talk about the reservation.
• 4:42
  Jessica says, then reserver a will be ah is reservation in Spanish.
• 4:57
  Another acceptable term is d reservation, very close to the way you say it
• 5:02
  in English. When I used to work at the front desk in a hotel,
• 5:06
  I used to hear both. Actually, then go una reserva or then
• 5:13
  go reservation. So up to you, whichever you want to use is finding
• 5:19
  that case, then we have the part of the name the receptionists asked a
• 5:26
  nombre de Kien, under whose name a nombre de Kien, and Jessica replies,
• 5:34
  nombre de Jessica. A nombre de Jessica. You can replace that name
• 5:42
  and include yours. If it was me, it would be a nombre de
• 5:46
  Marco. Try a nombre the class your name. I'll ask you as a
• 5:53
  receptionist, and you have to reply when you hear this sound ready, here
• 6:00
  we go a nombre the Kien, the en movie, the En. So
• 6:09
  to recap so far we have the initial Britain and under who is the reservation?
• 6:15
  Next up is what happens when a Latino doesn't understand your name or last
• 6:19
  name. Jessica says her last name a pegido, and I don't understand,
• 6:28
  so I ask her to spell it. Como say the litrea? How do
• 6:32
  you spell it? Como say the litrea. Sometimes a receptionist might ask Como
• 6:40
  says, crive, how do you write it? So possible questions in this
• 6:45
  case are commotrea, how do you spell it? Como says, crive,
• 6:50
  how do you write it? And that's why this is a great opportunity to
• 6:56
  work on your spelling in Spanish. Let's review the alphabette in Spanish. You
• 7:00
  will hear the English letter first and then the Spanish equivalent. Feel free to
• 7:06
  repeat to practice your pronunciation. A H, B, B, C,
• 7:15
  C, d V, E A, F f A G h A,
• 7:28
  I, E, J, hota, k l, l A, M,

  ubedovle x aks ya Z said, and there is an extra letter in Spanish
• 8:13
  let which looks like an N with a tilde over it that we're signed above
• 8:20
  the N. That letter has its own name in Spanish, and it is
• 8:24
  called nya, and that's how it's pronounced as in espaniol. Let's practice with
• 8:31
  your numbre and apeido albe the receptionist. Answer with your own information. Commoea
• 8:41
  son como se deletaio good, very good. It's very important to know at
• 8:56
  least how to spell your name in Spanish. Why because when I work at
• 9:01
  the front desk, I remember having a colleague who was not very good at
• 9:07
  English, and even I struggle to understand English names. When I have a
• 9:11
  new online Spanish student, I usually have to ask how it's pronounced and how
• 9:16
  it's spelled. I can say from experience that Spanish speakers are worse than storebucks,
• 9:22
  but it istas with names you think they mis pronounced the names. Wait
• 9:30
  until you say your name to your amigos latinos. My advice here is to
• 9:35
  memorize the spelling of at least your name a last name for this kind of
• 9:39
  situation. Let's continue. Then I ask about the passport maper meete super SUPPORTE
• 9:48
  may have your passport, maper meete super support and she says, at aka
• 9:58
  is that mipa support. The Sometimes at the front, I would hear just
• 10:03
  a car handing the passport a car so a casama support the full answer or
• 10:11
  just a car just saying a car is fine as the situation makes it very
• 10:16
  clear or intentions. So let's practice and the receptionists and I ask you for
• 10:22
  your passport, reply using whichever option you like. The best member meet the
• 10:28
  super support see eac PC pan comillo. The final part is about the room,
• 10:39
  the type of bed, the number of knights, and general information about
• 10:43
  the hotel service. I first confirmed with the guests the type of bed,
• 10:48
  a number of knights, Una concama king see a king bed room for a
• 10:56
  night right king bed in a Spanish is karma king and queen bet is karma
• 11:05
  queen. We just kept the same terms in Spanish for those bets. And
• 11:09
  this information will depend on how the hotel classifies the rooms. The one where
• 11:15
  I used to work use the type of bet karma king only one big bed
• 11:20
  and karma queen was for a room with two beds of queen's size. An
• 11:26
  old classification at a hotel might be abtaon individual single room or habitation dove double
• 11:37
  room, habitation individual habitation dovele. And then I wanted to confirm the number
• 11:45
  of nights Concama king una see una note one night. And when the guests
• 11:54
  confirm a west pit guest west peit, I proceed to give additional information about
• 12:03
  the room and the service. Socient dose your room is two or two,
• 12:11
  and yes, it's common to use the full number doscient dose two hundred and
• 12:18
  two. Another alternative could be those seto dose, although hmmm, I never
• 12:24
  heard that when it was a receptionist. But if you say those seto doos
• 12:28
  instead of doscientos dose, it is still clear. If you want to confirm
• 12:33
  the number with the receptionist. The receptionist then says a stane wundo piso it's
• 12:41
  on the second floor, a star and a se wundo piso, and then
• 12:46
  information about the service breakfast starts at six am, and then savitation whether yamar
• 13:00
