I only speak English and have no problem 9 times out of 10. Don't get into a discussion. My conversation
usually goes:
I want Carol [or whatever name] He may ask your hotel or his? Say his.
Which Hotel? Wait for answer.
OK - 3 o'clock [or whatever time you want]
That's it.
Call again when you arrive at the hotel. Next conversation:
I'm here for Carol - which room? Either he'll give you a room number or ask you to wait. He'll call back in a few minutes with the room number
OK - and off you go to paradise - you hope.
