Transcript
- Lucas: Hei, Luna! Velkommen til episode 33. How are you today? Luna: Hei, Lucas! I'm great. I've been thinking about our last episode on asking for prices. Very useful. Lucas: Oh, glad to hear that. Today, let's talk about checking into a hotel. Have you ever stayed at a hotel in Norway? Luna: Not yet, but I hope to soon. What phrases do I need? Lucas: First, you'll say 'Jeg har en reservasjon.' That means 'I have a reservation.' Let's try it: Jeg har en reservasjon. Luna: Jeg har en reservasjon. Lucas: Perfect! You said it exactly right. Repeat after me: Jeg har en reservasjon. Luna: Jeg har en reservasjon. Lucas: Great. Now, after you say that, the receptionist might ask for your name or give you the key. So next, you can ask: 'Kan jeg få nøkkelen?' That's 'Can I have the key?' Kan jeg få nøkkelen? Luna: Kan jeg få nøkkelen? Hmm, that's a bit tricky. Kan jeg få nøkkelen? Lucas: Very close! Try putting a bit more emphasis on the 'ø' in nøkkelen. Kan jeg få nøkkelen? Luna: Kan jeg få nøkkelen? Lucas: Yes! That's it. You're a natural. Now, when you get your key, they'll probably tell you your room number. You can confirm by saying 'Rom nummer...' and then the number. For example, 'Rom nummer 42.' Luna: Rom nummer 42. That's easy. So if my room is 33, I say 'Rom nummer 33'? Lucas: Exactly! But wait, we're on episode 33. So you'd say 'Rom nummer 33.' Good connection. And at the end, don't forget to say 'Takk for hjelpen' – that's 'Thanks for the help.' Let's hear you say it. Luna: Takk for hjelpen. That's like 'Thanks for the help' from the doctor episode, right? Lucas: Yes, exactly! It's a useful all-rounder. So let's practice the whole check-in. I'll be the receptionist. You walk up to the counter and say you have a reservation. Luna: Jeg har en reservasjon. Lucas: Great. Then I say, 'Welcome. Here is your key.' And you say... Luna: Kan jeg få nøkkelen? Lucas: Perfect! But actually, if I offer it first, you can just say 'Takk.' But if you need to ask, that's the phrase. Now, I give you the key and say 'Your room is number 7.' You can confirm... Luna: Rom nummer 7. Lucas: Yes! And then you say thank you for the help. Luna: Takk for hjelpen. Lucas: Fantastic! You've just checked into a hotel in Norwegian. Let's do one more run-through, but this time with a different number. Say your room is 15. Luna: Jeg har en reservasjon. Kan jeg få nøkkelen? Rom nummer 15. Takk for hjelpen. Lucas: Beautiful! You did it. Now, remember, you can use these phrases in any hotel. And if you forget something, just smile and say 'Unnskyld' – we learned that earlier. But these four phrases will get you far. Luna: I love how practical this is. I feel ready for a trip to Norway now. Lucas: That's the spirit. And remember, with Fexingo, you can practice these anytime. Let's do a quick review: What's 'I have a reservation'? Luna: Jeg har en reservasjon. Lucas: And 'Can I have the key?' Luna: Kan jeg få nøkkelen? Lucas: And how do you say the room number? Luna: Rom nummer... Lucas: And thanks for the help? Luna: Takk for hjelpen. Lucas: You've got it. That's all for episode 33. Takk for at du lyttet, and we'll see you next time. Ha det bra! Luna: Ha det bra! Thanks, Lucas.
