About this product

Product Information

Respond to Japanese Noh theater like a native: Kazoku sorrote no seppuku ga yokatta. (I love the part where the whole family disembowels themselves.) Speak to homicidal Parisian taxi drivers in a language theyll understand: Ou avez-vous appris conduire? En Italie? (Where did you learn to drive? Italy?) Discuss Italian olive oil with the proper degree of reverence: Un assaggio ti dice che le olive sono maturate di fronte ad una cattedrale. (One taste tells you the olives grew in full view of the cathedral.) Establish privacy needs in Mexico: Preferira una habitacin sin alacranes. (Id prefer a room without scorpions.) With seven titles and over 1.2 million copies in print, Howard Tombs Wicked phrase book series is the fiendishly irreverentand very successfulcollection that gives travelers the words they wish they could utter while, say, attempting to find the exit of the Louvre or facing a plate of fugu (poisonous blowfish) in Japan. Now, the five most popular Wicked booksItalian, French, Japanese, German, and Spanish have been updated and compiled into The Wicked Traveler. A$25 value for $8.95, its the ultimate impulse gift for anyone whod like to know how to say silly things in five different languages. Because, as Howard Tomb writes in his new introduction: Every country is different, but all foreign places have one thing in common: theyre weird.

  • Verry Funny, But Needs Different Color Font

    The font color used to "pronounce" the foreign language words is light purple and very difficult to read unless highly lit conditions. I have the Wicked Spanish book from years ago, and it's definitely a keeper. I'd buy this book again, but have that caveat in mind when recommending it.

  • Use this at your peril in real life

    I can’t imagine when you would use this book in real life. It is the “Ugly American” distilled down to a phrase book and is a perfect depiction of the obnoxiously oblivious American tourist. The really great thing is that the phrases are carefully crafted to fit each country and language they are “intended for” I don’t know how funny the native speakers of these languages will find the phrases, but as an American I find them hilarious.
