Welcome to spent learning English your podcast for smarter and more professional English. My name is Stan and Disney is Richar Tyra Chuck how are you how are you one of the last episode we got stuck into politics so let's start with what we went planning directly today we want to talk about how to do conversation in when booking a hotel. Most people normally go to the Internet. There's hardly anybody I know who phones the hotel to make a reservation, but I always recommend this to our course members because it's the best way to train your your active English or English English understanding and your self-confidence if you just pick up the phone and phone somebody who doesn't speak German and sometimes in our trainings. We make our students or our participants just pick up the phone and talk to somebody in a hotel in island to England also to have different accents but if you pick up the phone and you want to make a reservation hotel what the information that you need to or what are the information that you want to share with the person on the other side. First of all you need to date when you want to arrive at the hotel. Then the time when you want to arrive at the hotel but most of the times is quite easy for people 10 cm you said your data and you said you had time for yourself, then you should already know what the different types of rooms down hotel so mostly that double rooms and troops so to Dan. These ways are not synonyms but double room means a room with a double bed obviously and into the room is a room with two beds, two separate beds and then also for your on going to the hotel yourself on your own. You can book a single so this is the first information needs, date, time and type of food you want. Richard sometimes their office suites and not with carburetor for our listener in rooms and hotel rooms you will find king-size bed or queen-size bed. So now the regulators what is the difference between a king size bed and queen-size bed just driving into the command sent. Maybe we will send your nice surprise. But your onsets right okay and Richard what just in sweetening in England sometimes therapy in peace they say in suite system for a wedding or way that is not used as often as as in the past suite is obviously French from the French language and just simply means that bathroom is attached to the bedroom. Normally, nowadays most mushrooms do have bathrooms so it's not often used but that's the simple meaning but for those who are looking for very cheap B&B in England they might really find all files from 35 for even 25 pound and that you have to be careful because times the shower and the toilet are not in the room there on the floor and you have to share it with a bar. Visitors yes indeed, this is how often happens when you're booking hostile room or something IRS. What about other information like parking or Wi-Fi brick first transfer from the airport like a shuttle service. Any other information you would ask when making the arrangement of the booking is caused so is if checked with them, date, time to type and then normally would also check with the availability now because of color 19 is not a lot of traveling going on, but for example you're going going to book hotel room for conference most of the time Sotos overbooked of fully booked and you should ask if there's room all the did the hotel motel. The hotel would tell you that there's that they are fully booked, so you check with the date the time that the availability if there were those are available. Often times, the hotel atelier beforehand and because you have the service business you should be aware ask of the facilities. For example, Sarah, save in your room is Sarah, minibar, or added tea and coffee making facilities, discover things and for me personally what is what is important as well as the breakfast meeting this a different CA in. If you have foolishness from other parts of the world, but we have the full English breakfast in the continental breakfast so sent

the difference between full English breakfast and a continental breakfast while I love the full English breakfast that the warm cooked breakfast with acts, mushrooms, beans in island I came across black pudding and white pudding also included toast. I remember tomato and normally you will you drink coffee or black tea with milk with the full English breakfast answers also suggests sausages… The abdomen in German and could face where they serve breakfast every now and then, also an continental I think it's just marmalade and cornflakes and orders low vitamin and high carbon hydrate stuff to so we have to stress as you mentioned the items on the list for the full image breakfast unto, but I think the full English breakfast in general just to make it simple as bigger and the content breakfast small obviously have different hotels in different standards. So sometimes you will get your eggs and bacon for the full English breakfast. Sometimes you won't sometimes would get identical saw a coffee for continental breakfast. But in general just for the listeners to remember that the full image breakfast bigger and down the continental breakfast and consequences of the smaller it's funny because in our online course English for Germans. We have one unit where we talk about full English breakfast and also about the history of cornflakes that cornflakes had been invented by hallway collect at Kellogg who is who was a doctor and a sanatorium to reduce the libido of the patients. So in fact cornflakes seemed to to lower your sexual drive quite interesting and we we have more details about this member online course English and the German breakfast I mean is completely different. It's like sneeze like a feast weekend. It's like somebody broke into your house and while looking for for money, etc. he puts everything he finds on the in the kebabs on the kitchen John your table and you waiting for hours until you fall into a kind of breakfast, I was the typical breakfast that you prefer. What what do you prefer for breakfast. Normally Richard in this case would choose the continental breakfast because I don't like to take breakfast. It's not my my my habit to do it so I just I just grabbed what ever I can get in the morning and I'm just off to work and then so semi-breakfast, not a ceremony or something like that is not feast for something small and quick so you're more the Italian Italian breakfast person than just coffee and something to survive this aesthetics, hence my breakfast socket just to flub them. For example, if you are on a business trip. He would also ask if they have laundry or a dry cleaning service and obviously the room service is 24 hours, sometimes just 12 hours. If you are an some when the horse and you have, you don't have to 24 hours luxury and most importantly nowadays and basis if the hotel is seven servicing Wi-Fi for you. If you have an intricate connection that's also very important task. What about what about us spa area like swimming pools, sonar, etc. I mean a lot of photos operate a German soil. Also like spot treatments like massage etc. but I came across fact that most time business people do not really have time because during the time the spiral is open there, mostly at work or having dinner afterwards and in the morning to have to get up early. What is your experience with this facilities so it really depends on their hotels data that are targeting people who are business trips or business people and so they then kennel at Dr. service to a certain way that where the business people, businessmen, businesswomen, in that case can also use these facilities to spas as an area to network. So for example, there are some hotels that are targeting business people and data before bars and restaurants that are kind of set in a way where you can network where you can get get in contact with other people from other companies, so it depends on what hotel you are and what services have, but there's some hotels who actually target business people, and then set the times and accordingly for them, okay, so thank you very much for these insights into how to make arrangements and hotel bookings in the next episode I would like to talk with you about airport conversation and challenges, especially if you are may be having some more luggage than expected for today.
