Speak these Spanish travel lines with Gu

These are speakable Spanish lines for the airport, a café, and a hotel desk. Each one is a full line you can say out loud, with a plain English gloss and one short tip from Gu.

Read the Spanish first. Then say it once slowly and once at a normal pace. A clear, complete sentence is enough — you do not need a perfect accent to be understood. Pick a situation below, practice the bank, and keep the lines that feel steady in your mouth. This is a small speaking kit, not a course. When you want Gu to practice the same kind of line with you, the app is on the App Store.

Airport

Check-in, the gate, bags, and the way out.

  1. ¿Dónde está el mostrador de facturación?

    EnglishWhere is the check-in desk?

    Gu tipFacturación is the Spain-leaning check-in / bag-drop word — keep the full ask short.

  2. Aquí tiene mi tarjeta de embarque.

    EnglishHere’s my boarding pass.

    Gu tipHand it over as one calm sentence; smile is free.

    EnglishWhere is the boarding gate?

    EnglishWhich gate is it?

    Gu tipShort follow-up when the board just changed.

  5. ¿Dónde está la cinta de equipaje?

    EnglishWhere is the baggage belt?

    EnglishI’ve lost my suitcase.

    Gu tipCalm and factual — stack the fact, skip drama words.

  7. ¿Por aquí?

    EnglishThis way?

Café

Order, a constraint, and the check.

  9. Para llevar.

    EnglishTo go.

Hotel

The desk, the room, and a calm ask.
