Lonely Planet Eastern Europe Phrase Book

We use Lonely Planet phrase books whenever we roam outside of Europe's core English-French-German-Italian-Spanish-Portuguese language zone. This pocket-sized volume will help you connect with the locals in Warsaw, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana, Dubrovnik, St. Petersburg, Bucharest, Sofia, Skopje, and Tirana — and everywhere in between.

You'll find key words and phrases in 11 languages:

• Albanian
• Bulgarian
• Croatian
• Czech
• Hungarian
• Macedonian
• Polish
• Romanian
• Russian
• Slovak
• Slovene

Wait, there's more:

• "Quick reference" page for each language
• Pronunciation tips
• Easy to find "emergencies" pages
• Notes on cultural events
• With roughly 50 pages devoted to each language, this does not offer the depth of Rick Steves' phrase books — but it's great at covering the basic essentials of pronunciation, health, courtesies, getting around, shopping, eating, and sleeping. It's an ideal companion to the Rick Steves Central Europe guidebook.
