Then, to get you started in two-way communication, the Scenarios section offers dialogues in key situations such as renting a car, asking directions or booking a taxi, and includes words and phrases for when something goes wrong, from getting a flat tyre or asking to move apartments to more serious emergencies. The phrasebook starts off with Basks, where we list some essential phrases, including words for numbers, dates and telling the time, and give guidance on pronunciation, along with a short section on the different regional accents you might come across. Laid out in clear A-Z style with easy-to-find, colourcoded sections, it uses key words to take you directly to the phrase you need - so if you want some help booking a room, just look up "room" in the dictionary section. It gets straight to the point in every situation you might encounter: in bars and shops, on trains and buses, in hotels and banks, on holiday or on business.
