Handy, up-to-date, March 9, 2003
This review is from: Rick Steves' Spanish & Portuguese Phrase Book & Dictionary (Paperback)
This is a handy, up-to-date helper for people traveling on the Iberian peninsula. More than Northern European countries, some knowledge of the local language is necessary in Iberia. (Actaully, I'm speaking only from personal knowledge of Spain; I didn't travel in Portugal.) The book is divided into sections, including "Basics", "Numbers, Time & Money", "Sleeping", "Eating", "Transportation", "Sightseeing, Shoping & Entertainment", "Phoning, E-mail, Post Office & Red Tape", "Health", "Help" and "Chatting". The e-mail section both tells you how to get directions to a nearby internet cafe and translates operation terms that may appear on your screen. That's very handy if you want to use the internet to communicate with the folks back home or get messages from them while on your vacation.
Overall, I was impressed by this phrasebook and dictionary.

This book is a great resource if you meet Brazilian chicks in a bar. It really did the trick for me.
