The English / Basque Phrasebook is designed to be used by the English speaker to learn the basics of the Basque language or for a Basque speaker to learn the basics of English. 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. Proper names may or may not be translated between languages. Generally country names are translated, but personal names, place names, and trade names (products) are not. Some words may provide an alternate translation or transliteration, others may not. 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.

WHAT THIS BOOK IS...1.

There are Basque dictionaries available to be purchased on the internet or in other places. There are also free online dictionaries available (for example, I have personally found the Morris dictionary particularly helpful).2. This book is NOT a glossary of special terminology related to certain topics or professions.3. This is NOT a tourist guide book. It does not contain images, pictures or information regarding places of interest for tourists, nor does it contain other related information such as addresses or telephone numbers.4. This is NOT a school text book or exercise book. This book does not contain exercises, videos or audio material.5. This is NOT a book for advanced study. Basque is a very complicated language, and for that reason I have not attempted to explain the complexity of Basque verbal constructions, particularly regarding verb tenses or moods such as the past, future or subjunctive. The author has no university degree or formal studies in the Basque language and is by no means an expert regarding this wonderful but complex language. This book is best understood as a book for novices which has been written by a novice.
