1
Hey, I want my room.
2
Excuse me?
3
I want my room now.
4
What?
5
Oh, I think she wants to check into the hotel, but she doesn't know how to say it in English.
6
No worries.
7
Let me teach her.
8
Ah, I think you want to learn hotel English, right?
9
Well, congratulations, you're in the right place.
10
Let's begin our lesson.
11
First of all, when you arrive at the hotel lobby, you're going to see this place.
12
Now this place is called the hotel front desk or hotel reception.
13
So if you want to make a sentence, you could say, I need to check in at the hotel front desk.
14
I need to check out at the hotel front desk.
15
Now generally you're going to see someone behind that desk and I can't guarantee they'll be as handsome as I am.
16
Anyways, this person could be called the receptionist,
17
the hotel staff or the hotel front desk is okay as well.
18
So what should you say to this person?
19
Well, you can start the conversation and say, Hello, I have a reservation.
20
You could also say, Hello, I have a reservation under, and then say your name.
21
For example, me, I'm John Pang.
22
Hello, I have a reservation under Pang.
23
Now the hotel front desk, they might start the conversation.
24
They might say, hello, do you have a reservation?
25
Now this sentence is very useful because you hear this at a restaurant as well.
26
Hello, welcome to our restaurant.
27
Do you have a reservation?
28
Hello, welcome to our hotel.
29
Do you have a reservation?
30
And of course I don't have a reservation, bro.
31
I'm John Pang.
32
I'm a famous influencer.
33
Just kidding.
34
I can't get a reservation anywhere.
35
Hook me up if you have a restaurant.
36
Anyways, let's talk about some of the next questions you're going to hear when you check in.
37
Now, after you've confirmed you have a reservation, they're probably going to ask you some questions.
38
For example, can I see your ID, please?
39
Remember, ID stands for identification.
40
Now remember, the two most common forms of ID is your passport or your driver's license.
41
Perhaps they might ask you, can I have your phone number, please?
42
And that's a useful sentence because maybe you want to get someone's phone number as well.
43
Someone at the bar, somebody cute that you might have a crush on can I get your number?
44
Can I have your phone number?
45
Just be careful with that one, okay?
46
If you get slapped, it's not my fault.
47
Now, when you make a hotel reservation, you're probably gonna do it online or on a mobile app.
48
And when you do that,
49
you're usually gonna get a booking number or a confirmation number or a reservation number.
50
Generally, all three of these are used interchangeably.
51
So the hotel front desk may ask you, can I see your reservation number?
52
Can I see your booking number?
53
Can I see your confirmation number?
54
Okay, now that you've given all this information, they're most likely going to confirm your reservation details with you.
55
For example, they might say the following.
56
Okay, Mr. Peng, I'd like to confirm your reservation details.
57
Now, when they confirm your reservation details, they're most likely going to talk about your room type or your bed type.
58
Now, a lot of international hotels usually have different names for these types of rooms, but the most common ones are single room,
59
twin room, double room, family room,
60
deluxe room, or if you are a baller, high roller, the penthouse.
61
Now, they might also list out the type of bed you have.
62
For example, a single size bed, a twin size bed, a double size bed,
63
a queen size bed, and the king size bed.
64
And finally, they will also confirm how many nights you are staying.
65
For example, hello, I see a reservation for Mr. Peng for three nights.
66
Is that correct?
67
Okay, now that we've learned all these vocabulary and sentences, let's see it in action.
68
Let's go.
69
Hello.
70
Hello.
71
Hello.
72
Welcome to our hotel.
73
Do you have a reservation?
74
Yes, I'm the one.
75
Wonderful.
76
Can I see your ID, please?
77
Yes, here you go.
78
Thank you.
79
And do you happen to have your booking number?
80
Yes.
81
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
82
Okay, perfect.
83
Okay, I just want to confirm your reservation details.
84
You'll be staying Friday to Sunday, three nights in total, in the penthouse, and be checking out on Monday.
85
Is that correct?
86
Yes.
87
Okay, perfect.
88
Okay, my friends, that does it for today's English lesson.
89
Here's your homework.
90
Use some of these phrases, some of these vocabulary words in the comments.
91
I want to see you speaking English.
92
And you can also let me know what other types of hotel English would you like to learn.
93
Please let me know.
94

95

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？

ホテルでのチェックインは旅行の中で非常に重要な場面の一つです。このビデオでは、YouTubeで英語学習を通じて、英語のスピーキング練習をするための具体的なフレーズや表現を学ぶことができます。このような実際のシチュエーションを想定した学習は、英語スキルを向上させる非常に効果的な方法です。特に、英語シャドーイングを練習することで、発音や流暢さが向上し、リアルなコミュニケーションができるようになります。

文法と文脈内の表現

このビデオで使用されている重要な表現や構文を見てみましょう：

  • “Hello, I have a reservation.” - 予約があることを伝える基本的な表現。
  • “Can I see your ID, please?” - 身分証明書を見せるように求められた場合のフレーズ。
  • “Can I have your phone number?” - 連絡先を尋ねる際の便利な表現。
  • “I need to check in at the hotel front desk.” - チェックインをする場所を明確にするための文。
  • “Do you have a reservation?” - 相手の予約の有無を尋ねるフレーズ。

これらのフレーズを使って、英語スピーキング練習をすることで、実際の状況で自信を持って会話できるようになります。

一般的な発音の罠

ビデオの中での発音に注意が必要なポイントをいくつか挙げます：

  • “reservation” - 特に語尾の音に注意。早口になりがちなので、ゆっくりはっきり発音する練習をしましょう。
  • “reception” - 発音が似ている言葉に混乱しないように、しっかりと耳を傾けて、口の動きを確認してください。
  • “ID” - “アイディー”としっかり発音することで、相手に正確に伝わります。

これらの発音練習とともに、shadowspeakを活用して、より効果的に英語をマスターしていきましょう。言葉の背景にある文化についても考えることで、より深い理解が得られ、自信を持って会話することができるようになります。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
