What happens if I want to say something you haven’t thought of? Is providing only a limited number of phrases part of a dastardly plan for world domination?
What a good idea… No really, no book can cover every possible situation in which you might find yourself. However, we do have a few tricks up our sleeve. Each book has a very simple grammar guide (we know it’s boring, but it’s indispensable and only covers two pages) and the newer editions (currently only French, Spanish and Dutch) also have a dictionary. Using these in conjunction with the rest of the book will allow you get your meaning across in most situations. Future editions of the other titles will also have dictionaries.
