Thank you! Now, which language...?

Weissensteinburg

Reply 11 years ago

Do you want something useful (being able to possibly communicate with someone) or a language that nobody around there speaks, but would be fun to use?

Good grief - there's a British phrasebook!

Is there an American English phrase book? LOL

Kiteman

There's an Australian one as well!

Broken link?

Weissensteinburg

Reply 11 years ago

No, it was British, not American.

Kiteman

Reply 11 years ago

Ah, it was a guide to Britain for Americans, including "translations" of various sayings, so I read it as a UK/US phrasebook.

Weissensteinburg

Reply 11 years ago

Ah, I was thinking it would be the other way around.

Ours needs to be in the electronic form, since it changes nearly daily LOL

Ah, I went with practicality - #1 Son is going to Paris in October (school trip), so I've asked for the French phrasebook, since even French will have changed since I last went there.

Congrats to all. My only "travels", mostly within the states with a run or three to Canada, have ended in, or included much tragedy or at very least, a lot of inconvenience. *sigh* I just don't "travel well" ...

I think I'll get a French phrase book and then I can catch Eurostar and go on another day trip to Paris in October and perhaps people might understand me!
