The Penguin Spanish Phrasebook

By Maria Victoria Alvarez and Pepa Roman de Olins

Book Overview

A stylish, pocket-size phrasebook perfect for business travelers, backpackers, sightseers, and anyone who wants to keep their Spanish close at hand

Penguin's Spanish phrasebook includes a wealth of useful words and expressions essential to travelers of all kinds, spelled out phonetically and arranged in sections to help you deal with specific situations and needs as they arise. After a primer on basic grammar and a quick pronunciation guide, you'll find statements and questions like:

- Does the hotel have wi-fi? Tienen wi-fi en el hotel? (tee-e-nen wee-fee en el o-tel)
- My luggage has not arrived. Mi equipaje no ha llegado. (mee e-kee-pa-he no a llye-ga-do)
- How much does the tour cost? Cuánto cuesta la excursión? (kwan-to kwes-ta la es-koor-syon)
- May I see the wine list, please? La carta de vinos, por favor. (la kar-ta de bee-nos, por fa-bor)
- Does anyone here speak English? Habla inglés alguien aquí? (ab-la een-gles alg-yen a-kee)

Some of the Spanish phrases are marked with an asterisk, giving an indication of the kind of reply you might get to your questions, and of questions you may be asked in turn.

With an elegant cover and easy-to-read design that are the hallmarks of Penguin Books, this essential reference will have you feeling at home no matter where your travels take you.
