Tips

  • Start with a greeting. Walking up and asking a question without one comes across as rude in all five languages.
  • Have your booking name ready to say. It is the first thing they will ask.
  • For anything broken, say what is wrong and then ask for help. The staff will take it from there.

These sentences use vous, the polite form, which is right for shops, hotels and restaurants. Use tu only with friends, children and people who use it with you first.
