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 are Brazilian Portuguese. In Portugal, many words differ: comboio for train, autocarro for bus, pequeno-almoço for breakfast and casa de banho for toilet.
