Practice phone calls in Spanish before your trip
Heading somewhere people answer the phone in Spanish? 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 Spanish before you go makes those calls much less stressful.
Useful Spanish phrases for phone calls
| English | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Hello (opening the call) | Hola, buenas tardes. |
| I'm calling about my reservation. | Llamo por mi reserva. |
| Could you speak more slowly, please? | ¿Podría hablar más despacio, por favor? |
| Could you repeat that, please? | ¿Puede repetirlo, por favor? |
| A table for two at 8 pm, please. | Una mesa para dos a las ocho, por favor. |
| Thank you, goodbye. | Gracias, adiós. |
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.
