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.

Here's your homework.

Use some of these phrases, some of these vocabulary words in the comments.

I want to see you speaking English.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
