Synopsis

Globetrotter's "In Your Pocket" series features attractive, easy-to-use phrase books complemented by two-way dictionaries. Languages featured include: Italian, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Greek. Each book has a section on etiquette that gives a few pointers on the customs and manners of the peoples in question, together with information on the differences between some of the nations that speak the language. The Phrase Book section offers enough basic grammar to get you talking, and understanding, the language, together with a handy guide to pronunciation. It is arranged by subject matter, and features useful phrases for specific situations. The categories are booking hotel accommodation, ordering a meal in a restaurant, shopping and managing money matters, transport options, sightseeing and activities, and matters of health and safety. The Dictionary is divided into English to the featured language, and the featured language to English, which will help you understand, as well as be understood. The books are colour coded, and enhanced by illustrations.
