Lesson Overview: At the Hotel in Bulgarian (A2 Level)
This lesson focuses on practical conversations and vocabulary related to hotel stays, including booking a room, checking in, asking for additional services, and reporting problems during your stay. It is designed for A2 learners to build confidence in everyday travel and accommodation scenarios.
Main Topics Covered
- Registration and arrival – how to register at a hotel and communicate your details: "Здравейте, имам резервация на име Георгиев." (Hello, I have a reservation under the name Georgiev.)
- Booking extra services – requesting additional amenities and inquiring about service times: "Мога ли да получа допълнителна възглавница?" (Can I get an extra pillow?)
- Reporting problems – explaining issues in your room and asking for help: "В стаята ми климатикът не работи." (The air conditioner in my room is not working.)
Key Vocabulary and Expressions
Understanding and using the right vocabulary is essential. Examples include:
- Резервация (Reservation)
- Ключ (Key)
- Записвам (To book/register; imperfective verb)
- Допълнителен (Additional/extra)
- Проблем (Problem)
Verb Usage Focus
The lesson highlights Bulgarian verbs often used in hotel contexts, shown in the minimal present tense to express routine or scheduled actions:
- Записвам (I book/register)
- Поръчвам (I order/request)
- Помагам (I help)
- Питам (I ask)
- Донансям (I bring)
- Съветвам (I advise)
- ОбърнаM (I turn/organize)
Bulgarian vs. English Language Notes
Bulgarian verbs show aspect and person agreement, which differs from English verb conjugations. Most verbs take distinct forms to express nuances such as imperfective (ongoing/repetitive action) vs. perfective (completed action), something English verbs often express with auxiliary verbs.
For example, the verb записвам means "I register" (imperfective), and you will see it conjugated to refer to present habitual actions, unlike English where "register" remains mostly unchanged for person.
Useful phrases include:
- Имам резервация на име... – "I have a reservation under the name..."
- Моля, покажете ключа си. – "Please show your key."
- Мога ли да получа допълнителна възглавница? – "Can I get an extra pillow?"
- Ключът е на рецепцията. – "The key is at the reception."
- Проблемът в стаята е... – "The problem in the room is..."
