Publisher's summary
Do you go on vacation praying that everyone will speak English? Want to learn enough Spanish and French for situations like in hotels and restaurants, but don't want to buy a 30-hour course to try and make you 'fluent' ? Want a book that teaches you useful phrases like 'Can I have the check, please?" and "I have a reservation in the name of Smith", and not stuff you will never say like "This broccoli is under-cooked"? Want to do all that in a week or two?
This book takes you from landing at the airport, via the car rental check-in, to the hotel and onto the restaurant and markets (among many other places), giving you the words and phrases that you will actually use in places you will actually go. It also gives you phrases that you are likely to hear so you know what you are being asked. In short, you shouldn't have to say "Do you speak English?" at all while you're there. There's sections for at the pharmacy, phrases that are useful if you have kids, as well as mobile phone and internet-related stuff, shopping, public transport, and many more.
How do I know this ? Because the last time I went on vacation, and I wrote every phrase I used . What I said in the bakery, at the market, at the hotel we stayed in en route, at the restaurants we ate in etc. They are all in this book, along with many others I know you may find useful.
Trust me, I know what it feels like to be 'that guy' who just points at things and puts up the number of fingers to say how many you want of it. In large parts of France where they don't speak English, the reception you get in the restaurant if you say "Bonsoir, avez vous une table pour quatre s'il vous plait?”' instead of mumbling in English is night and day.
Imagine how you'll feel coming back from the market having bought a ton of good stuff, with all your conversations in Spanish or French, with your family looking at you in a new light.
So what are you waiting for? What price confidence and having an even better vacation, all for a few dollars? Go for it, hit the Buy button, and start your (short) journey to confident French speaking.

The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Comprehensive and super helpful!
This book combo is just what you need if you consider traveling to France, Spain, or South America. I think learning some of the language of the countries you are traveling to is essential and will help you out a great deal, hence why I listened to these books. What I liked about the books is that there is a massive variety of subjects to learn, and the teaching ranges from single words to complete phrases and sentences. Each lesson is repeated twice, which allows you to get the words into your head, which proves effective. I would also like to praise the narration of Reynaldo and Raphael Tavares, as they made learning the new languages a pleasure.

A great resource!
As someone who's no stranger to travelling and has often found themselves hoping for English-speaking locals on vacation, I can't recommend this book enough. This book is a lifesaver for those looking to pick up essential phrases in a short amount of time. It takes you from the airport to the hotel and restaurants, equipping you with the words and phrases you'll use, sparing you from resorting to the dreaded "Do you speak English?" question.

Great bundle for Spanish and French
I love this writer for how easy theyaking learning both French and Spanish and providing them in one book. Well narrated, with well timed pauses and repeats wording at crucial times to help with the learning process. We have loved listening to these in our car as we travel through Europe and we are about to end up in France for two months and confident we can get by thanks to this audible. We then finish our two years of travelling in Spain where we will use all the phrases and words we have learned. Highly recommended.

Phrases you will actually use
This is a great bundle for the traveler (or the dreamer, like me). I know some Spanish and some French and I've been dreaming about taking a big trip to Europe one day. Right now I have 3 small kids, so I want to wait until they are older. But for now, I can dream, right? I like practicing and learning more Spanish and French. I think languages are interesting and it gets me excited for my big trip later. And all of the phrases in here are relevant to traveling. They are things you will actually use.
