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.

Indispensable!,
By "oceanatc@telocity.com" (E. Setauket, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Phrasebook: Bulgarian (Paperback)
I used this book on three trips to Bulgaria and found it an invaluable asset. The first few pages give you the bare bones information needed to get by in almost every common situation. Subsequent sections provide detailed information on shopping, eating out, traveling in country, etc. Plus--it fits into your pocket! The best travel money I ever spent.

Immensely Helpful!,
By NotAnotherTourist (South Korea) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Phrasebook: Bulgarian (Paperback)
I brought this book with me to live in Bulgaria for two years and it was extremely helpful many times. After learning to speak Bulgarian, I realized that a few phrases are a little too formal, but then again, most phrasebooks do make that mistake. Because Bulgarians are such friendly and hospitable people (except the customer service people at bus and train stations where you will need this book most outside of restaurants), they generally will appreciate the effort you are making to communicate. A helpful hint is to master reading Cyrillic before you go over there : )

Could have been better,
By Taylor Erkkinen (Plovdiv, Bulgaria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Phrasebook: Bulgarian (Paperback)
This book contains many useful phrases for travel in Bulgaria, but unfortunately, my copy contained double copies of pages 34-66, and no pages 67 to 99. Luckily, I have not yet encountered any emergency situations here, but If I had, I would have been at a loss for what to say! Upon bringing this to the attention of the publisher, DK suggested that I mail back the defective copy, at my own cost.
