Context and manners are extremely important when going to Germany, just like they are in every country. If you insult a person’s language, why would they talk to you in return?<\/p>\n

The “Perfect Phrases” book details the proper words and phrases to use while traveling, while also discussing\u00a0faux pas and how they can hurt your conversation.<\/p>\n

This guide may not help you much with your pronunciation, but it’s an essential tool to bring with you while traveling in German-speaking countries.<\/p>\n

The “Point It” book has 1,300 images and words, so you can point at the images when your speaking abilities fail. For example, point to the picture of a chicken when ordering at a restaurant.<\/p>\n
