(02:00):
from Colombia. Pay close attention tothe phrases that are used in a taking
situation. Pay attention also to thegreetings, how they talk about the reservation,

After listening to the dialogue, wewill review the central phrases and vocabulary

for taking in at a hotel enEspanol, and then we'll listen to the
dialogue a second time to reinforce thesecontents. Here we go with the first

Concama, king un ces Movian socotcitationem reception, It'll check out, okay,
(03:47):
Bambo saver ki est dialogo. Firstlisten lies the greeting? Was it
formal? Informal? What was thegreeting they use in this occasion? A
little hint they greet each other inthe afternoon. Well, that is a
(04:08):
clear hint of what the greeting is. I'll give you a few seconds to
think of your answers. The greetingin this hotel situation is formal. They
greet each other with whenas sarvest,good afternoon, when as starves. If
(04:30):
you're not sure how to use greetingsand their degree of formality, you can
listen to the episode one of thisshow. Then they talk about the reservation.
Jessica says, then reserver a willbe ah is reservation in Spanish.
(04:57):
Another acceptable term is d reservation,very close to the way you say it
in English. When I used towork at the front desk in a hotel,
I used to hear both. Actually, then go una reserva or then
go reservation. So up to you, whichever you want to use is finding
(05:19):
that case, then we have thepart of the name the receptionists asked a
nombre de Kien, under whose namea nombre de Kien, and Jessica replies,
nombre de Jessica. A nombre deJessica. You can replace that name
(05:42):
and include yours. If it wasme, it would be a nombre de
Marco. Try a nombre the classyour name. I'll ask you as a
receptionist, and you have to replywhen you hear this sound ready, here
we go a nombre the Kien,the en movie, the En. So
(06:09):
to recap so far we have theinitial Britain and under who is the reservation?
Next up is what happens when aLatino doesn't understand your name or last
name. Jessica says her last namea pegido, and I don't understand,
so I ask her to spell it. Como say the litrea? How do
(06:32):
you spell it? Como say thelitrea. Sometimes a receptionist might ask Como
says, crive, how do youwrite it? So possible questions in this
case are commotrea, how do youspell it? Como says, crive,
how do you write it? Andthat's why this is a great opportunity to
(06:56):
work on your spelling in Spanish.Let's review the alphabette in Spanish. You
will hear the English letter first andthen the Spanish equivalent. Feel free to
repeat to practice your pronunciation. AH, B, B, C,

let which looks like an N witha tilde over it that we're signed above
(08:20):
the N. That letter has itsown name in Spanish, and it is
called nya, and that's how it'spronounced as in espaniol. Let's practice with
your numbre and apeido albe the receptionist. Answer with your own information. Commoea
(08:41):
son como se deletaio good, verygood. It's very important to know at
least how to spell your name inSpanish. Why because when I work at
(09:01):
the front desk, I remember havinga colleague who was not very good at
English, and even I struggle tounderstand English names. When I have a
new online Spanish student, I usuallyhave to ask how it's pronounced and how
it's spelled. I can say fromexperience that Spanish speakers are worse than storebucks,
(09:22):
but it istas with names you thinkthey mis pronounced the names. Wait
until you say your name to youramigos latinos. My advice here is to
memorize the spelling of at least yourname a last name for this kind of
situation. Let's continue. Then Iask about the passport maper meete super SUPPORTE
(09:48):
may have your passport, maper meetesuper support and she says, at aka

a car handing the passport a carso a casama support the full answer or
(10:11):
just a car just saying a caris fine as the situation makes it very
clear or intentions. So let's practiceand the receptionists and I ask you for
your passport, reply using whichever optionyou like. The best member meet the
super support see eac PC pan comillo. The final part is about the room,
(10:39):
the type of bed, the numberof knights, and general information about
the hotel service. I first confirmedwith the guests the type of bed,
a number of knights, Una concamaking see a king bed room for a
night right king bed in a Spanishis karma king and queen bet is karma
(11:05):
queen. We just kept the sameterms in Spanish for those bets. And
this information will depend on how thehotel classifies the rooms. The one where
I used to work use the typeof bet karma king only one big bed
and karma queen was for a roomwith two beds of queen's size. An
(11:26):
old classification at a hotel might beabtaon individual single room or habitation dove double
room, habitation individual habitation dovele.And then I wanted to confirm the number
of nights Concama king una see unanote one night. And when the guests
(11:54):
confirm a west pit guest west peit, I proceed to give additional information about
the room and the service. Socientdose your room is two or two,
and yes, it's common to usethe full number doscient dose two hundred and
(12:18):
two. Another alternative could be thoseseto dose, although hmmm, I never
heard that when it was a receptionist. But if you say those seto doos
instead of doscientos dose, it isstill clear. If you want to confirm
the number with the receptionist. Thereceptionist then says a stane wundo piso it's
