쉐도잉 연습: How to check-in at a hotel in English - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Hey, I want my room.

Excuse me?

I want my room now.

What?

Oh, I think she wants to check into the hotel, but she doesn't know how to say it in English.

No worries.

Let me teach her.

Ah, I think you want to learn hotel English, right?

Well, congratulations, you're in the right place.

Let's begin our lesson.

First of all, when you arrive at the hotel lobby, you're going to see this place.

Now this place is called the hotel front desk or hotel reception.

So if you want to make a sentence, you could say, I need to check in at the hotel front desk.

I need to check out at the hotel front desk.

Now generally you're going to see someone behind that desk and I can't guarantee they'll be as handsome as I am.

Anyways, this person could be called the receptionist,

the hotel staff or the hotel front desk is okay as well.

So what should you say to this person?

Well, you can start the conversation and say, Hello, I have a reservation.

You could also say, Hello, I have a reservation under, and then say your name.

For example, me, I'm John Pang.

Hello, I have a reservation under Pang.

Now the hotel front desk, they might start the conversation.

They might say, hello, do you have a reservation?

Now this sentence is very useful because you hear this at a restaurant as well.

Hello, welcome to our restaurant.

Do you have a reservation?

Hello, welcome to our hotel.

Do you have a reservation?

And of course I don't have a reservation, bro.

I'm John Pang.

I'm a famous influencer.

Just kidding.

I can't get a reservation anywhere.

Hook me up if you have a restaurant.

Anyways, let's talk about some of the next questions you're going to hear when you check in.

Now, after you've confirmed you have a reservation, they're probably going to ask you some questions.

For example, can I see your ID, please?

Remember, ID stands for identification.

Now remember, the two most common forms of ID is your passport or your driver's license.

Perhaps they might ask you, can I have your phone number, please?

And that's a useful sentence because maybe you want to get someone's phone number as well.

Someone at the bar, somebody cute that you might have a crush on can I get your number?

Can I have your phone number?

Just be careful with that one, okay?

If you get slapped, it's not my fault.

Now, when you make a hotel reservation, you're probably gonna do it online or on a mobile app.

And when you do that,

you're usually gonna get a booking number or a confirmation number or a reservation number.

Generally, all three of these are used interchangeably.

So the hotel front desk may ask you, can I see your reservation number?

Can I see your booking number?

Can I see your confirmation number?

Okay, now that you've given all this information, they're most likely going to confirm your reservation details with you.

For example, they might say the following.

Okay, Mr. Peng, I'd like to confirm your reservation details.

Now, when they confirm your reservation details, they're most likely going to talk about your room type or your bed type.

Now, a lot of international hotels usually have different names for these types of rooms, but the most common ones are single room,

twin room, double room, family room,

deluxe room, or if you are a baller, high roller, the penthouse.

Now, they might also list out the type of bed you have.

For example, a single size bed, a twin size bed, a double size bed,

a queen size bed, and the king size bed.

And finally, they will also confirm how many nights you are staying.

For example, hello, I see a reservation for Mr. Peng for three nights.

Is that correct?

Okay, now that we've learned all these vocabulary and sentences, let's see it in action.

Let's go.

Hello.

Welcome to our hotel.

Do you have a reservation?

Yes, I'm the one.

Wonderful.

Can I see your ID, please?

Yes, here you go.

Thank you.

And do you happen to have your booking number?

Yes.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Okay, perfect.

Okay, I just want to confirm your reservation details.

You'll be staying Friday to Sunday, three nights in total, in the penthouse, and be checking out on Monday.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Okay, perfect.

Okay, my friends, that does it for today's English lesson.

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.
