A RANGE of phrasebooks launching next
month promises not only to help you avoid faux pas and spare your blushes while
holidaying abroad, but also to teach you to swear like a native.
The French, German, Italian and Spanish
phrasebooks from travel guide publisher Marco Polo feature a wide range of
slang and colloquial phrases, plus an entire section on 'Ranting, Bitching and
Swearing'. Marco Polo promises to equip you with the language that is really
spoken on the streets.
The books also feature local knowledge
and advice on how to blend in, including tips on how to pass for a native, not
just a tourist. Did you know that when
invited for lunch or an evening meal in France, it is customary to turn up a
casual quarter of an hour late? Or that if you favour organic fare, it's best
to avoid asking for a meal without 'preservatifs'. Preservatifs' are condoms.
Marco Polo Phrasebooks (French, German,
Italian, and Spanish) and Marco Polo guides to Andalucia, Dresden, Montenegro
and Zakynthos, retail for £6.99.
