Shadowing Practice: What Would You Say at a Hotel? | English Speaking Challenge - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Imagine you arrive at a hotel in another country.
2
You need to check in, ask questions about your room, about the hotel, about the amenities, and you need to arrange transportation to the airport.
3
Could you do all of that confidently in English?
4
Well, today you're not just going to learn hotel English.
5
You're also going to practice it so that you remember it even better.
6
In this video, there will be over 10 shadowing role plays where you get to really practice your English.
7
You never say luggages.
8
How would you tell the receptionist role play for?
9
Ask for something for your room.
10
Housekeeping.
11
Single rooms.
12
Twin rooms.
13
The AC is broken.
14
The AC is broken.
15
Some common mistakes.
16
Without further ado, let's get started.
17
For almost this entire video, we are going to role play.
18
I will be the hotel employee and you will be the customer.
19
When I ask you something, try to respond out loud.
20
You will have a few seconds to think and then an answer will appear on screen for you to read.
21
But before we get into the first role play, I want to ask you three questions to test how much English you know right now.
22
And then at the end of this video, I will ask you the same three questions to see what you learned.
23
When you guys answer these three questions, I want you to record yourself on your phone so
24
that you can compare your answers from the beginning of the video to the end.
25
First question, you arrive at a hotel.
26
How would you tell the receptionist you have a reservation?
27
Second question.
28
You enter your room, but the AC isn't working.
29
What would you say to the receptionist?
30
Third question.
31
You have a flight tomorrow morning at 6.30 a.m.
32
How would you ask the hotel to arrange transportation to the airport?
33
Now let's get into the first shadowing role play where you will learn all about hotel English.
34
Let's get started.
35
So the first role play is booking a hotel room.
36
So imagine you are calling me and I'm the receptionist at a hotel.
37
Good afternoon, Grand Hotel.
38
How can I help you?
39
so remember you guys will have a few seconds to respond on your own you can pause
40
if you need more time and then an answer will appear on screen
41
and you have to read that let's keep going certainly what kind of room would you like
42
of course we have one available for 120 dollars per night yes breakfast is included
43
so that right there is a quick role play where you can practice calling a hotel to book a room.
44
And the different room types you can usually book are single rooms, twin rooms, double rooms, a suite, a king room, or a queen room.
45
And throughout the role plays, you will also see text on screen explaining certain words and going a little bit deeper than what I'm saying.
46
So if at any point you wanna pause and read that, then feel free to do that.
47
Let's go on to the second role play.
48
So now you've arrived at the hotel and your mission is to check in, confirm your reservation and ask some important questions.
49
So let's get into it.
50
So you come up to me at the hotel.
51
Good afternoon.
52
Welcome to the Grand Hotel.
53
How can I help you?
54
Of course, do you have a reservation?
55
Great, could I see your passport please?
56
Thank you.
57
Everything looks good, your room is on the sixth floor.
58
Breakfast is served from 7 until 10.
59
It's written on your key card holder.
60
That right there is a basic conversation of how you would normally check into a hotel.
61
Let's go on to the third role play.
62
Ask about hotel facilities.
63
Is there anything else I can help you with?
64
Yes, the gym is on the third floor.
65
It's open until 11 p.m.
66
Yes, the pool is beside the gym.
67
Yes, you'll find a laundry bag and price list inside your room.
68
Role play four, ask for something for your room.
69
Front desk, how can I help you? Of course.
70
Certainly, we'll send them up right away.
71
so a very easy way to request something really anywhere
72
but specifically at a hotel is could I please could I
73
get something please could I get an extra towel please could
74
I get food brought to my room please it's a very easy way to ask for things anywhere
75
but especially at a hotel now Now, role play number five.
76
Something is wrong with your room.
77
There, you can see that the AC is broken.
78
Hi, front desk.
79
How can I help you?
80
I'm sorry about that.
81
Of course, I can send someone up in about 10 minutes.
82
Second problem.
83
Front desk, how can I help you?
84
I'm sorry about that.
85
We'll have someone check it.
86
Sometimes when you have problems in your hotel room, like the water not working or the AC not working, you can ask to change rooms.
87
So let's practice that.
88
Unfortunately, we aren't able to fix the air conditioner tonight. Of course, no worries.
89
Have a nice night.
90
so a very useful way to make a complaint
91
but politely is this thing doesn't seem to be working
92
that is a lot more polite for example the ac doesn't
93
seem to be working instead of immediately saying the ac is
94
broken the ac is broken you can say the ac doesn't seem to be working Try that next time.
95
3,000.
96
That is the amount of words you need to understand up to 95% of spoken English.
97
That is why I made the 3,000 Most Common English Words textbook with clear definitions,
98
real example sentences, and simple organization by topic and CEFR level.
99
So you know exactly what to study next.
100
And now if you want to learn even more, I've added the next 2000 most common English words.
101
So you can get the full 5000 most common English words textbook to understand up to 98% of spoken English.
102
This will help you to know exactly what to study and really advance your English vocabulary and level.
103
You can get it at the link in my description or at VolkaEnglish.com.
104
Now let's go on to the next role play.
105
Role play six.
106
Housekeeping knocks on your door, but you're not ready for your room to be cleaned yet.
107
What do you say?
108
Housekeeping. Of course.
109
What time would you prefer?
110
Certainly.
111
Another situation.
112
Housekeeping, would you like your room cleaned today?
113
Yep, absolutely.
114
But a lot of the time, if you don't want housekeeping to clean your room, there's a do not disturb sign.
115
On one side it says please make up the room or clean the room, something along those lines.
116
And on the other side it says please do not disturb.
117
So you can put that on the outside and
118
that just lets housekeeping know whether you want your room to be cleaned or not.
119
So instead of them knocking you can just put that sign out there and usually it's no problem at all.
120
Let's go on to the seventh role play.
121
Role play number seven, room service.
122
Room service, how can I help you?
123
Of course, would you like anything to drink?
124
Certainly, anything else? About 30 minutes.
125
Of course, what's your room number?
126
So that is how to order room service.
127
Some natural ways to order something I'd like or could I get.
128
Those are two natural ways to order something.
129
I'd like a chicken sandwich, please.
130
Could I get a chicken sandwich please?
131
Another useful expression is as well.
132
Could I get a water as well?
133
Roleplay number eight.
134
Ask the hotel for local help.
135
Good morning, how can I help you?
136
Sure, there's a great local restaurant about five minutes from here.
137
Turn left when you leave the hotel and then walk straight for about five minutes.
138
Now, second last role play.
139
Role play number nine.
140
Arrange airport transportation.
141
This is one of the most important things to do because if you can't get to the airport, you're gonna miss your flight.
142
Front desk, how can I help you?
143
We do, but unfortunately the first shuttle leaves at 8 a.m. Of course.
144
usually about 30 minutes depending on traffic.
145
So a useful structure is could you arrange plus noun for me?
146
Could you arrange transportation for me?
147
Could you arrange a taxi for me?
148
Role play number 10, the very last thing you need to do at a hotel.
149
Check out.
150
Good morning.
151
How can I help you? Of course.
152
What's your room number?
153
Here's your bill.
154
Certainly.
155
Here you go.
156
That's your room service from last night.
157
Would you like to pay by cash or card?
158
Certainly.
159
Is there anything else I can help you with?
160
Of course, you can collect it whenever you're ready.
161
And that is a very useful sentence to know.
162
Could you store my luggage for me?
163
Remember, you say luggage even if you have more than one.
164
You never say luggages because luggage is uncountable.
165
Now let's learn some common mistakes.
166
Mistake number one.
167
Can you tell me which one is correct?
168
A. I have a reservation on my name. Or B.
169
I have a reservation under my name.
170
We say I have a reservation under my name.
171
Mistake number two.
172
Is breakfast including?
173
or is breakfast included?
174
We say is breakfast included.
175
We never ever say is breakfast including.
176
That doesn't make any sense.
177
Mistake number three.
178
I have two luggages or I have two bags. Which one is correct?
179
We say I have two bags or I have luggage.
180
We never say luggages.
181
Mistake number four.
182
I want to check out my room or I'd like to check out.
183
We say I'd like to check out and be careful here
184
because check out my room means you want to look at your room
185
but in this scenario we are leaving the hotel
186
so it doesn't make sense to say I want to check out my room.
187
That means I want to look at my room.
188
But you don't want to.
189
You want to leave the hotel and leave your room.
190
So I'd like to check out.
191
Mistake number five.
192
Imagine you have a serious problem.
193
Which one sounds better?
194
Give me another room or would it be possible to move to another room?
195
We normally say would it be possible to move to another room.
196
A is grammatically correct, but it could come off as very rude.
197
So that's why B is the better choice here.
198
Now let's find out whether you improved.
199
I'm going to ask you the same three questions I asked you at the beginning of this video, and I want you to answer them naturally with the things you have learned today.
200
Remember to record your answers.
201
Don't just watch the lesson once and forget it.
202
If you actually want to remember what you learn, then complete the workbook I created for this video.
203
It helps you practice the key vocabulary, meaning, sentence building, pronunciation, shadowing, speaking, writing, and everything you learned from this lesson.
204
And now, instead of buying the workbooks individually,
205
you can get the complete study pack of over 100 workbooks at the link in my description or at VolcaEnglish.com.
206
Question one.
207
You arrive at a hotel.
208
How would you tell the receptionist you have a reservation?
209
Was that easier than it was at the beginning?
210
Question two.
211
You get to your room, but the air conditioner isn't working.
212
What would you say to the front desk?
213
Question three.
214
You have a flight tomorrow morning at 6 30 a.m.
215
How would you ask the hotel to arrange transportation to the airport?
216
I hope you guys enjoyed this style of video.
217
If you want to see more videos like this, where it's mainly role play, but I also teach you a specific topic. For example,
218
this video the topic was hotel English then let me know in the comments then I'll make more videos like this.
219
If you didn't like that much role play
220
and shadowing then let me know and I won't make any more videos like this.
221
Make sure to follow my other channel and my brother's channel and remember guys you will become fluent in English.
222
Bye guys.

Sobre esta lección
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
