There are many types of restaurant. In this lesson, we will cover what you need to say in fast food restaurants, regular sit down restaurants, and luxury fine dining restaurants.McDonald's is a popular restaurant, so I will use McDonald's as an example. The only thing you do when you go to a fast food restaurant is to go to the counter and order your food, then pay for it. That's all. Let's go through some quick sentences.

«Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order?»

«I'll take a Big Mac and a small coke.»

«One Big Mac and one small coke. Will that be all?»

«Yes.»

A: «Thank you for calling Great Hotel. How may I help you?»

B: «I would like to rent a room, but how much do you charge a night?»

A: «Our prices start at $79 a night for a standard room.»

B: «Great. Can you reserve a room for me?»

A: «Sure. What day are you coming in?»

B: «I will be checking in on August 3rd.»

A: «How many days do you need the room for?»

B: «I'll need it for three nights.»

A: «Ok. I have you coming in on the 3rd of August and checking out on the 6th. Is that correct?»

B: «Yes.»

A: «How many total adults?»

B: «Two adults and two kids.»

A: «How old are the children?»

If you need a wake up call, you can call the front desk.

— «Can I have a wake up call?»

— «What time would you like your wake up call?»

— «At 7:30 am please.»

Room service is available but they have hours of operation. The menu in the room should indicate what times they serve hot food, and the menu will show a list of items that are available 24 hours a day. If you can't find the times, you can ask the front desk.

Checking in is pretty simple, you just need to go to the counter and say that you are checking in.

«Hi, I am checking in.»

«Hi, I have a reservation and I am checking in.»

They will ask you for your credit card and a photo ID. They might confirm your information and you should receive your keys. Here are some questions to ask during this time.

• hotel
• Checking In and Checking Out

After they determine how many rooms and how many total people, they will ask you what type of bed you want.

«Would you like a single king size bed, or two double size beds in the room?»

«Will a single king size bed be ok?»

«We only have a room with two double size beds. Will that be ok?»

«Do you want a smoking room or a non smoking room?»

«Do you prefer a smoking or non smoking room?»

• Making a Reservation

The next series of questions covers how many people and how many rooms. Some hotels charge by number of rooms and number of adults, and some hotels charge by number of rooms only.

«How many rooms will you need?»

«Is this for only one room?»

«How many rooms would you like to reserve?»

«How many rooms should I reserve for you?»

• Making a Reservation

It is not common to go to a hotel without a reservation so I will only cover the reservation aspect. Along with reserving a room, I will cover checking in, checking out, room service, and wake up call.

When you make a reservation, call them and tell them you want to reserve a room. Or, you can start by asking them for a price.

«Hi, how much are your rooms?»

«Hi, what are your rates?»

«Hello, how much is a room?»

A: «Hello, ABC Car Rental. How can I help you?»

B: «Hi, I wanted to make a reservation.»

A: «What location would you like to rent from?»

B: «I am flying into Los Angeles Airport. Do you have a booth there?»

A: «Yes we do. What date are you flying in?»

B: «I am arriving on June 22nd.»

A: «What time is your arrival time?»

B: «I am scheduled to arrive at 2 pm.»

A: «How long would you like to rent the vehicle?»

B: «I will need it for 10 days.»

A: «What size car would you like?»

• english

You will be calling the company you are renting from. When you call, you should verify if the rental car company has a location at the airport you are flying into.

«I need one at Los Angeles Airport.»

«I am flying into Los Angeles Airport.»

If they have one, they will say they do and start asking you similar questions we already covered. We will not repeat them here, but I will have a practice session giving an example dialog on making a reservation below.

They might ask you for a credit card number on the phone. If you don't call and cancel, you might be charged.

So if you need to cancel, remember to call and cancel at least 24 hours before the date. I am not sure if it is 24 hours. You should ask and verify.

Finally, they will tell you the price and you will have to pay with a credit card.

«The total will be $184.19.»

At this time, you can give them your credit card.

After you pay, they will tell you some rules.

«The gas tank is full. You should fill it up before you return the car. If you do not, then we charge $3 a gallon.»

«You can pick up your car downstairs. Just show them the invoice and they will have your car ready for you.»

• english

Before giving you a price, they will then ask if you would like insurance or if you have insurance. The price varies. Last time I checked it was approximately $15 a day for insurance.

«Would you like insurance on the car?»

«How much is insurance?»

They will also ask who is going to be the driver.

«Who is going to be the driver?»

«How many people are going to drive?»

«Are all the drivers at least 25 years old?»

• english

In order to verify if they can give you the car you requested, they need to know how long you will need the car for.

«How long will you be needing the car?»

«How long will you be renting the car?»

«When do you need the car till?»

«I'll need the car for two weeks.»

«I want to rent it for one week.»

«I need it for 4 days.»

«I need it for just a day.»

• english

When you travel, it is common to rent a car. You will either call and make a reservation, or you will rent one by walking up to the counter. We will cover both scenarios here.

At the Counter

If you are at the airport, you can ask an airport employee, «where is the rental car booth?» or «where can I rent a car?»

After you arrive at the place, you will ask if you any cars are available. Here is a common script.

«Hi. I would like to rent a car.»

«Do you have any cars available?»

• english

A: «Welcome. May I have your tickets?»

B: «Here you go.»

A: «Is anybody else traveling with you two?»

B: «No. It's just us.»

A: «Do you have your passports with you?»

B: «Yes. Here it is.»

A: «I'm going to ask you a series of questions. Please respond with a yes or a no.»

B: «Ok.»

A: «Did someone you do not know ask you to take something on the plane with you?»

B: «No.»

A: «Did you have possession of your luggage since you packed?»

B: «Yes.»

A: «Did you leave your luggage unattended at all in the airport?»

They will usually tell you what gate you should go to, but if you need to ask again, I will provide an example question.

Also, you might need to ask someone where the gate is located.

«Which gate did you say it was?»

«What was the gate number again?»

«Can you point me towards the gate?»

«How do I get to the gate again?»

«How do I get to gate C2?»

«Where is gate C2?»

When you first reach the counter, you should give them your ticket and your passport. The first question they usually ask is how many are traveling with you.

«Is anybody traveling with you today?»

«Is anybody else traveling with you?»

«Are just you two traveling today?»

All airlines have a list of questions they have to ask you. Let's look at some of these questions.

Reserving a date to depart or changing a departure date

If you have an open ended ticket or would like to change your departing date, you will have to call and reserve a date to depart.

«I have an open ended ticket and I would like to schedule a departure date.»

«I have a ticket and I need to schedule a departure date.»

«I am scheduled to depart on June 15th. Can I change this to a later date?»

«I have a ticket to depart on June 15th. I would like to see if there is an earlier flight available.»

Travel English Lesson Categories

Travel English lessons should be used by people going to an English speaking country for traveling purposes. This section has useful information to help you communicate basic needs in English.

1.    Airport

Confirming your FlightIf you are taking a plane to travel, then you will be calling a travel agent and purchasing a ticket in your own country. We will not cover this portion because you can do it in your own language. But once you arrive to your English speaking location, you might need to change your flight and talk to English speaking people. More likely, they will have people speaking your language, but just in case, we will cover some general topics about air traveling here.
