phrase book & dictionary for travelers

Plot

Barron's At a Glance foreign language phrasebooks make ideal take-along companions for international business and vacation travelers. Each book contains more than 1,500 expressions with translations that travelers need for getting around in hotels, airports, train stations, restaurants, and other travel locations. Books have sturdy clear vinyl covers to keep them protected when they're carried around during travels, stuffed into pockets, or jammed into suitcases or tote bags. Travelers looking to pick-up fundamentals of a new language can purchase At a Glance books alone, or as part of a Now You're Talking package. The latter combines the phrasebook with a pair of 90-minute audiotapes. The cassettes present simplified dialogues in the target language that allow listeners to practice their listening comprehension and develop some basic speaking ability. Each Now You're Talking package also includes a booklet containing a written transcription of the tapes' dialogues. The complete line of Barron's At a Glance books and Now You're Talking packages are currently being revised and updated to meet the needs of twenty-first century travelers.
