Today we'll study some travel vocabulary phrases together as you come

with me for a weekend at the Standard Hotel in New York City.

You'll learn phrases and vocabulary that you might use at a hotel like amenities or incidentals.

We'll order room service together and enjoy some amazing views.

First, let's check in.

Hi.

I booked online, Rachel Smith,

and then about an hour after I booked, I booked an upgrade.

I'm using the verb here to book.

I'm sure you're very familiar with the noun version of this word,

book, but it's also a verb which means to reserve something.

I booked a hotel room.

You could also book a table at a restaurant.

This means you've made a reservation.

You could book a venue for your wedding,

or a concert venue could book an act or a band.

The bar around the corner booked my friend's band for Friday.

Here, OO makes the UH as in push vowel.

Book.

UH.

Book.

So both the noun book and the verb book are pronounced exactly the same.

Hi, I booked online, Rachel Smith,

and then about an hour after I booked, I booked an upgrade.

I used the term upgrade.

This means to improve on something,

to get a higher quality.

For example, if you've had your cell phone for a while and it's a bit slow,

you might want to get an upgrade.

Here I'm using it as a noun.

On a flight, you might be upgraded from an economy to a first class seat.

Here I'm using it as a verb.

Upgrade.

In this case, I booked a hotel room and then the system asked me if I wanted to upgrade.

The offer seemed like a good deal to me, so I did upgrade.

I paid a bit more money for a bigger, better room.

And then about an hour after I booked, I booked an upgrade.

Because it sounded very enticing, what was being offered.

Do you see how pregnant I am here?

I'm eight months pregnant, and this was the last weekend that my doctor said I could travel away from home.

So we took Stoney to my in-laws,

that is David's parents, and took this short trip.

In the US, you might hear people call this a babymoon.

That is, a relaxing trip you take before it's harder to travel because you have a baby.

This is related to the term honeymoon,

which is a trip you take alone with your partner right after you get married.

You booked for a Waterview Deluxe King, correct?

Yes, south-facing.

Here we're using some terms that you might use when describing a room.

We booked a king, which means it has a king-sized bed in it.

King and California King are the two largest sized beds.

She used the term water view.

This simply means what you can see from your room.

You might have city view,

park view, water view, ocean view, garden view, street view.

This hotel is close to the Hudson River.

I used the term south-facing.

This means when you're in your room looking out the window,

which direction are you looking?

I knew I wanted to be south-facing because just north of the hotel are some taller buildings.

I didn't want to look directly at another building,

so I upgraded to a south-facing room.

You might also see a room described as a corner room,

which of course means you're on the corner of the building and you might get views in two different directions.

You booked for a Waterview Deluxe, right?

Yes, south-facing.

Yep.

I see that here, if I could just see a form of ID and a credit card for the bus.

Sure.

When checking into a hotel,

there's a good chance that they'll ask for a form of ID like she did.

That would be something official with your picture and name on it like a driver's license or passport.

ID is short for identification.

They'll also usually want a credit card from you

so they can make charges to the room if you damage or take anything.

Yep.

I see that here if I could just see a form of ID and a credit card for the birthday.

Sure.

So I see that initially you put a deposit down for the room,

so we would just leave the card for incidentals.

Okay, no problem.

Incidentals.

This is a word they use for anything in addition to the cost of the room.

For example, if you eat or drink from the mini bar in your room,

they'll keep track of that and charge it to your card after you leave.

So we would just leave the card for incidentals.

Okay, no problem.

And it doesn't, it's not ready yet by chance, is it?

It is.

Oh, perfect.

She asks, have you stayed here before?

Oh no, I've not.

It's been on my bucket list.

Bucket list.

Have you heard this term before?

It means something you want to do within your lifetime.

For example, visiting Paris is on my bucket list.

Oh no, I've not.

It's been on my bucket list.

100

So I'm glad that it's happening.

101

Yes.

102

This initial here, here, and a signature there,

103

and if you could just add this gentleman's name right there.

104

Sure.

105

There might be something you have to initial or sign when checking into a hotel.

106

Initial, of course, means you just put RS instead of your whole signature Rachel Smith.

107

Just initial here, here, and a signature there,

108

and if you could just add this gentleman's name right there.

109

Sure.

110

We finish checking in and head up to our room.

111

Room number 814.

112

We have a card as a key.

113

Very dark elevator.

114

See, this is why I didn't want to be north-facing.

115

It's because Then you're just looking at a building.

116

North-facing, south-facing.

117

It can be very handy to know the details of the room you want when booking a hotel.

118

Let's go find the room.

119

There's the river.

120

And there's the city.

121

And there's the High Line.

122

How cool is that?

123

The High Line is a park in NYC that was built on top of an abandoned raised train line.

124

I'll also talk about the Whitney,

125

which is an art museum.

126

That's the Whitney right there.

127

Have you ever been to the Whitney, David?

128

The new one?

129

Yeah.

130

And that's their little rooftop spot there.

131

Maybe we should go.

132

They have pay-as-you-wish entrance on Friday evenings.

133

Alright, well let's settle in.

134

Settle in is a phrase that means to unpack,

135

to get comfortable, to arrange your things in a new place.

136

After a big move, it can take some time to settle in.

137

Whenever we stay somewhere, even if it's just for a night or two,

138

I like to spend some time settling in when we first arrive to make this day more comfortable.

139

Alright, well let's settle in.

140

That night, our friend Renee dropped by and we ordered room service.

141

Generally, you can reach the front desk by pressing zero.

142

The front desk is there in the lobby where we checked in.

143

You can call them with your needs and questions.

144

Room service is for the restaurant in the hotel that can make and bring food to your room.

145

Good evening, Good Services.

146

Hi, is this where I call to place a room service order?

147

Please hold on.

148

I'll transfer it to them.

149

Thank you.

150

It was the front desk, not room service.

151

Thank you for calling room service.

152

This is Yuli.

153

How can I help you?

154

Hi, I'm in room 814,

155

and I'd like to order two orders of fries.

156

Okay.

157

And does that come with ketchup?

158

Yeah.

159

Okay.

160

Okay, and also two orders of a good pickle.

161

Okay.

162

Did you want anything to drink with us?

163

Um, anyone thirsty?

164

No, I think we're good.

165

If you ask someone if they want something,

166

or offer them something, and they say,

167

I'm good, or we're good,

168

that's like saying, no thank you.

169

That person does not want it.

170

Anyone thirsty?

171

No, I think we're good.

172

They told me it would be a 30 minute wait.

173

Okay, I am eight months pregnant if that helps boost me forward.

174

Okay, not a problem.

175

Okay, I'm just kidding.

176

Thank you.

177

See you soon.

178

Bye.

179

I mean, I'm not kidding.

180

I am eight months pregnant if that makes a difference.

181

Luckily, the food came quickly.

182

Wow, that's a lot of fries.

183

That is a lot of fries.

184

Ooh, I didn't expect them to be so little.

185

I think we could have gotten by with one order.

186

Nope.

187

No?

188

No. I'm so glad we have two.

189

Mini mayonnaise.

190

All the best to go with the mini ketchup.

191

Mini ketchup, and then two good pickles.

192

Mmm.

193

Okay, what did you think of yours?

194

I'm giving it an 8 out of 10.

195

I'm thinking I'm going to give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

196

Oh, so low.

197

Do you do this too?

198

We rated how much we liked the pickle on a scale of 1 to 10.

199

1 is always the lowest and 10 the highest.

200

The very best of the best.

201

So I didn't love the pickle.

202

Still, there's something very luxurious about eating french fries in your hotel room at 1030 at night.

203

Many hotels have an ice machine.

204

This one was labeled an ice dispenser.

205

So almost every hotel room in America has an ice bucket that you can take to the machine to fill up.

206

This one also had tongs to serve ice into glasses.

207

David and I had such a relaxing stay here enjoying slow days.

208

Before we leave, let's go over a few more words and phrases that might be useful to you as you travel,

209

as you stay in hotels.

210

First, when you check into a hotel,

211

you'll find the front desk in the lobby,

212

and you can probably find a luggage cart there to help you get all your luggage to your room.

213

The opposite of checking in is checking out.

214

Check out, of course, is when you leave the hotel room and you give back your key.

215

Two phrasal verbs for your travel vocabulary.

216

Check in, check out.

217

Here, I called the front desk to ask what time checkout was.

218

I also had to report an issue about the room.

219

Good.

220

This is Freddie.

221

Hi Freddie.

222

Um, I am wondering what time checkout is tomorrow morning?

223

It's at 12 p.m.

224

Okay, perfect.

225

Uh, my other question is,

226

I'm in room 814, and the drain to the bathtub doesn't seem to close all the way.

227

Okay, I'm about to just let me send someone off.

228

Is that okay?

229

That's great.

230

We're actually going to head out in a minute.

231

Is it okay if we're not here?

232

That's great, yeah.

233

Okay, thank you so much.

234

I used the phrasal verb, head out.

235

This means to leave.

236

We were just getting ready to leave our room for a walk.

237

Head out.

238

That's great.

239

We're actually going to head out in a minute.

240

Is it okay if we're not here?

241

Definitely, yes.

242

Okay, thank you so much.

243

We don't even need to try to get a late checkout because checkout's noon.

244

That's perfect.

245

This particular hotel does have a mini bar.

246

So that is a place where they're going to have some food and snacks for you.

247

They have some glasses for us, nice.

248

And there's also a refrigerator.

249

Mini bar usually refers to a refrigerator, refrigerator.

250

And this one is fully stocked,

251

so that means it came with all sorts of goodies ready for us.

252

Now, usually if you eat or drink what comes here in the hotel, it's quite expensive.

253

Much more expensive than just running out and buying it yourself.

254

Another neat thing that this particular hotel room has is a shower bath room.

255

So it's this whole room,

256

floor to ceiling, doesn't matter if you get the whole thing wet,

257

a big bathtub and then there's some slats

258

that look out into the room so you can still see the view as you take your shower.

259

This hotel room also has a safe.

260

Many, many hotel rooms do,

261

so you can put passports or money,

262

valuables, whatever, in the safe when you leave.

263

One thing that people are often interested in when choosing a hotel is the list of amenities.

264

Amenities would be things like a gym or a pool or room service,

265

other things that you get in addition to your room or special things that you might get in your room.

266

Many hotels come with a little card like this.

267

This one says, privacy please.

268

And you hang this on your door knob to let them know,

269

I don't want anyone to come in and work on my room.

270

Or on the other side,

271

I do want someone to come in,

272

change out my towels for clean towels, maybe vacuum.

273

So this card says, privacy please.

274

But you might also see, do not disturb.

275

Thank you guys for traveling with me to New York City this weekend.

276

I also have a video that I made on travel phrases that you may use when checking in at an airport.

277

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
