Benji walked out of his hotel room and heard the door click shut. His key card was still inside. By the end of this episode, you will know exactly what to say at the front desk. 🎧 Best for: A1–A2…
In this situation, you can say this: I locked myself out.
I locked myself out.
Good.
It means you cannot get in because the key is inside or you do not have the key.
I locked myself out.
Short, sad, and useful.
Now tell the front desk what happened to your key card.
My room key card is in my room.
That works.
A more natural sentence is this: I left my key card in the room.
I left my key card in the room.
Nice.
Key card means the hotel card you use to open the door.
My key card is relaxing inside.
I am not.
Now, the front desk will need your room number.
Room 305.
You can say zero, but in room numbers, many people say O. I am in room 305.
I am in room 305.
Good.
305 means three-zero-five.
[laughs]
So O is okay for room numbers?
Yes, it sounds very natural.
Great.
