Why
a phrasebook? You
already find out a
textbook, a
grammar and a good
dictionary, but
those little
phrasebooks for
travellers are
your pocket
memory. They are
small, inexpensive
and easier to use and
carry than their
big
brothers.
The phrasebook is
like a lifesaver
at a restaurant
with no English
menu or at the
hotel desk when
the clerk don't
even understand
your English! It
is also a good way
to get in touch
with the local
peoples.
