by Huia

The
DAY12 Phrase
Book has been
lovingly compiled by Day12
readers from around the world to arm you with a few words
and phrases for your next destination. From
basic vocabulary such as 'Yes',
'No' and 'Thank-you',
and simple structures like, 'Where
is the..?' and 'How much is
this?' to the more advanced, 'I'm
bored of talking. Shall we
go to bed?' and 'Is that a
ghost?!', The
DAY12 Phrase
Book will help
you get by with the minimum of fuss and the maximum of fun.
Enjoy,
or as they say in France,
'Cafe
au lait!'
