Lesson 112 of 152

Free traditional Chinese lessons with Taiwan Mandarin audio and speaking practice.

Welcome to your hotel-front-desk toolkit. Today we’ll make your Taiwan trip feel a little smoother—because “my key card doesn’t work” is much better than silently waving it at the door.

Level A2: In this lesson, you’ll practice practical hotel phrases for checking in, asking about breakfast and Wi-Fi, reporting room problems, storing luggage, and checking out. These chunks are especially useful in Taiwan hotels, hostels, and guesthouses—small phrases, big travel comfort.

After this lesson you'll be able to:

  • Check in with a reservation using 我有訂房,名字是 ___。 (Wǒ yǒu dìngfáng, míngzi shì ___.)
  • Ask useful hotel questions like 有含早餐嗎? (Yǒu hán zǎocān ma?) and 請問幾點退房? (Qǐngwèn jǐ diǎn tuìfáng?)
  • Report simple room problems politely, including 我的房卡不能用。 (Wǒ de fángkǎ bù néng yòng.)
  • At A2, speak in ready-to-use travel chunks instead of building every sentence from scratch.
