Introduction
Hello and welcome. This concise eBook is intended to help you make the most of your travels, regardless of whether your journey is for business or pleasure. We will provide you with relevant words and phrases that you may require for the most common situations you will face. As this is a short programme, we have focused solely on what you may need. For this reason we have assumed that you wear a watch and that you carry a cellphone. In addition we have tried not to include things that you can easily point to. So now, all you have to do is just refer to the phrases and words that best suit the circumstances. By the end of the programme we hope that you have the confidence to speak and understand the basics.
