From Mexico to Argentina, this insightful guide lists the local variations of commonly used Spanish words and phrases spoken throughout Latin America. If you happen to be searching for an inexpensive eatery in Mexico you'll want to ask for a "cocina econmica," but in Central America you'd want to go to a "fritanga" or a "pupuseria." No matter where you are throughout Latin America, this is the Spanish-language phrase book for you. Whether you're trying to order dinner or get back to your hotel, you cannot make your way without knowing what to say, and the Eyewitness Travel Guide Phrase Books are the perfect guide for tongue-tied tourists. These compact, user-friendly books fit right into your pocket or purse, and meet the communications needs of the tourist and business traveler alike. Based on an innovative system of imitated pronunciation, phrases are organized into logical and practical divisions, including time; food and drink; air travel; bus, taxi, and subway information; shopping; health and medical care; and much more. Typical replies to questions you may be asked, as well as signs and instructions you're likely to see or hear, are also given. The guides also include a carefully selected mini-dictionary, and useful conversion tables translating distance, clothing sizes, and weight.

This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Phrase Book: Latin American Spanish (Paperback)
A very well organized phrase book, which made everything very easy and quick to find. A proper amount of color to help organize phrases and sections without being overwhelming. Just the right amount of material was presented unlike a lot of phrase books which try to give you every possible situation, this one gave only what is most common. It also gave any major difference in Spanish between various Latin American countries. Although there is a phonetic guide, all the phrases are also given phonetically, for the American English speaker, right below. I used this for a trip to Mexico for 10 days and never ran into a situation this book couldn't help me with. When I had trouble with my pronunciation, I could always point to the phrase. The font was big enough to see it clearly without straining, but small enough that that whole thing fit easily in my back pocket. A must have for any trip to Latin America.
