Practice phone calls in Indonesian before your trip
Heading somewhere people answer the phone in Indonesian? The calls you make on a trip, like confirming your hotel, booking a taxi or reserving a table, are often harder than talking face to face: no gestures, no menu to point at, and people speak fast. A little practice in Indonesian before you go makes those calls much less stressful.
Useful Indonesian phrases for phone calls
| English | Indonesian |
|---|---|
| Hello (opening the call) | Halo, selamat siang. |
| I'm calling about my reservation. | Saya menelepon soal reservasi saya. |
| Could you speak more slowly, please? | Bisa bicara lebih pelan, tolong? |
| Could you repeat that, please? | Bisa diulang, tolong? |
| A table for two at 8 pm, please. | Meja untuk dua orang jam delapan malam, ya. |
| Thank you, goodbye. | Terima kasih, sampai jumpa. |
Tip: say your name and the date of your booking slowly and early in the call, and keep a pen ready for times, prices and confirmation codes.
