Jessie: This guide has all the most important info you need for getting around your trip. It’s separated into easy to find sections and has simple translations. It was so helpful to have this since we didn’t have good wifi during our travels

Darryl B: Bought this in preparation for a Tenerife holiday. Not like we were backpacking in Outer Mongolia (a Spanish book would probably be wasted there) but I wanted to make an effort to speak some Spanish, even if they spoke better English than me.

The book does go through some of the basics of grammar, but the main part is the key phrases, with easy to understand pronunciation. It is broken into sections, like travelling, eating out etc, so you can jump to the part that you need quite easily, though it's obviously not comprehensive in such a small book. There are "survival phrases" immediately at the front and a fold-out section at the back, with more key phrases.

Having a flick through the index was quite comical, making me wonder what sort of places Lonely Planet expect us to be visiting. I couldn't find a particular very basic word, but they did have "nuclear waste"!

A A Mistuloff: the book is divided into topics but it is still difficult to use as an adjunct while speaking to somebody.

Tara: I really love this pocketsize phrasebook for traveling. It has everything you could need organized into categories. Just be aware that this book has pronunciations for Spanish specifically spoken in Europe. Getting a Latin America version would be better if you're traveling to any other Spanish speaking countries.

Jules: I love the size. Easy to carry around on a trip or just in your handbag. Doesn't weigh anything and the book itself is great. Good mix of information and language tips / phrases.
