Esperanto is the most successful international language project. Although it is not natively spoken by anyone, it serves the purpose of enabling people who speak disparate languages to communicate. It is most of use for those who speak the "romance" languages and will prove more difficult for people who speak the Asian and African languages or use other than the Latin alphabet This is not your typical tourist phrasebook. It contains over 75 categories of terms in Esperanto and English with over 4,000 terms, phrases and sample sentences. Also included is a guide to the English and Esperanto alphabet and pronunciation. The English / Esperanto Phrasebook is designed to be used by the English speaker to learn the basics of the Esperanto language. If you are intending to learn any new language, you'll need to get a phrasebook. The purpose of the phrasebook is to give you practice in real-life situations. Memorizing phrases ahead of time is the BEST way to use a phrasebook. Your grammar book, and sometimes even your course, does not give you the "Which room is mine?" kind of phrases. Yes, you will need to flip through the book to find responses or the next question on a different topic, but that is only if you do not practice a bit ahead of time. You can't beat this book - for the price and the small, yet concise and relevant content. Learn how to tell time, order food, go through customs, as well as greetings and social conversations. This phrasebook is derived from our Words R Us system, a derivative of WordNet. English Wordnet, originally created by Princeton University is a lexical database for the English language. It groups words in English into sets of synonyms called synsets, provides brief definitions and usage examples, and records a series of relationships between these sets of synonyms. WordNet can be viewed as both a combination dictionary and thesaurus.
