how I almost got by in...SpanishDecember 11, 2003 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Its not really a book. You get three post cards, the first one has friendly noises, so yes, no please and thank you, as well as useful words, such as "toilet," that one was so useful this book nearly got 5 stars.
The second postcard is "out and about" and has lots of useful words that when added to those on card one, you can make short simple sentences and be understood. All the Spanish words are writen as they would be pronounced in English making it easy to be brave and speak out.
The third post card is a menu card. It has a list of things that you will see on a menu and its English translation. As a vegetarian I found this one useful as the last thing I needed was a plate of somthing that I won't eat.
The cards look good, so you don't feel like a fool juggling a phrase book. My only problem was shuffling the cards around to make up my sentences as I needed a bit of each card to get what I wanted.
