Useful and Fun

Not only is this a useful phrasebook but tons of fun! The phrases cover most subjects but the book is not big to throw in a suitcase. A great gift for all your gay friends.

What a Riot! If You're Gay and You Travel, You Need This Book!

First of all, the book is small enough to be a convenient carry-along. It is very thorough and covers most every sexual and nonsexual situation you can think of (REALLY) and it enables you to converse easily with native speakers. Each entry is also listed with its phonetic pronunciation. I tried out a German phrase on some guy I knew and he said "OMG how on earth did you learn that??" Some of the phrases are probably not always going to be used, but are translated and form the basis for comic relief (e.g., "Doll, if you're going to lip-sync, the least you can do is learn the words"). I say buy the book, it will certainly come in handy! The Spanish in particular also has regional differences which is very useful.
