In the last post, I introduced four useful sentences for hotel check-in.
Now, let’s use them in a role-play and see how the other person might respond.
When Checking In at a Hotel

As I mentioned last time, this conversation will probably happen in English.
It is a hotel, after all. They will probably speak your language for you.
I will quickly finish this slightly unnecessary post and come back with more everyday Korean conversation next time. Haha. 🤣
