Reader Reviews:
A good basic book for travelling (3/4 people found this helpful)
This pocket-sized book is just right for taking with you on short breaks and holidays. It's split into categories which makes it easy to find what you're looking for.
The different subjects covered are:
'Chat' - Conversation
'Explore' - Sightseeing
'Shop' - Making purchases
'Enjoy' - Small talk
'Eat and Drink' - Eating out and ordering
'Services' - Local services and communications
'Go' - Directions and transport
'Sleep' - Accommodation
'Work' - Business
'Look Up' - Reference
There is a helpful pronunciation guide and an English-German/German-English dictionary, as well as basics such as numbers, the alphabet and greetings.
This is meant to be a short reference guide and will not teach you how to speak German in any great depth. It does not cover things such as grammar rules, past/present/future tense, or feminine/masculine/neutral terms which are all important to the language but take some time to understand properly. If you are looking to learn and study the language I would suggest something more advanced.
