HOW DO YOU SAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE?
If you�re contemplating foreign travel but you don�t know the difference between asking for directions to the restroom or to the airport, Langenscheidt, once again, provides U.S. travelers powerful pocket references with the words you need, the minute you need them. No matter how limited your foreign vocabulary, Langenscheidt�s Universal Phrasebook and Pocket Menu Reader, compact essentials for your trip of a lifetime, give you the gift of communication during your travels. These language guides are remarkably small, so they can be easily stashed in pocket or purse, next to your passport, yet don�t skimp on valuable information. Both are packaged with flexible, vinyl covers, so that you can use them again and again. These midget guides are page-turners. Not only will you use them to find an exact word or phrase (Bathroom. Train station. Doctor.), but you�ll also enjoy just flipping through them, picking up pointers about what to say, and when to say it, in the new world in which you�re traveling. The Universal Phrasebook, measuring 3� x 4� (that�s smaller than a 3� by 5� card), is available in four editions: Spanish, French, Italian, German. Designed to help travelers find the best possible words for common situations in a flash, the guide is arranged in an easy-to-use, two-color format with chapters covering the range of relevant travel situations. They include: human relations, accommodations, food and drink, sightseeing, shopping, entertainment and sports, post office and bank, emergencies, time, and weather. Each edition of the Universal Phrase Book provides 2,500 important words and a guide to 1,000 essential phrases, and includes a guide to simplified pronunciation for all words and phrases. Ambitious travelers may want to brush up on their grammar, and everyone will enjoy the tips interspersed throughout the guide on how the language is used and experienced by natives, with insights on their customs. Unlike the Universal Phrase Book, which covers a wide range of traveling situations, the Pocket Menu Reader zeroes in on American travelers� favorite pastime: eating, eating, and more eating. There are seven editions of these powerful gastronomical guides, for �eat-a-thons� in France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal & Brazil, and Spain. Measuring 4� x 6�, each edition provides food dictionaries and definitions (to more than 1,500 food-related topics with translations and pronunciations), comprehensive coverage of a country�s cuisine; and an alphabetical list of dishes, specialties, and culinary terms. Pocket Menu Readers, each about 200 pages, will fill every appetite with information. Once your trip is finished, you may still have a taste for the foreign cuisine you just enjoyed, so you�ll enjoy the selection of recipes to try once you are back home. Essential Information:Universal Phrase Books and Pocket Menu Readers can be found at most bookstores, travel stores, and selected outlets where maps and travel products are sold.
