A stylish, pocket-size phrasebook perfect for business travelers, backpackers, sightseers, and anyone who wants to keep their Spanish close at hand
Penguin’s Spanish phrasebook includes a wealth of useful words and expressions essential to travelers of all kinds, spelled out phonetically and arranged in sections to help you deal with specific situations and needs as they arise. After a primer on basic grammar and a quick pronunciation guide, you’ll find statements and questions like:
• Does the hotel have wi-fi? ¿Tienen wi-fi en el hotel? (tee-e-nen wee-fee en el o-tel) • My luggage has not arrived. Mi equipaje no ha llegado. (mee e-kee-pa-he no a llye-ga-do) • How much does the tour cost? ¿Cuánto cuesta la excursión? (kwan-to kwes-ta la es-koor-syon) • May I see the wine list, please? La carta de vinos, por favor. (la kar-ta de bee-nos, por fa-bor) • Does anyone here speak English? ¿Habla inglés alguien aquí?(ab-la een-gles alg-yen a-kee)
Some of the Spanish phrases are marked with an asterisk, giving an indication of the kind of reply you might get to your questions, and of questions you may be asked in turn.
With an elegant cover and easy-to-read design that are the hallmarks of Penguin Books, this essential reference will have you feeling at home no matter where your travels take you.
Named one of 8 Eloquent Spanish Phrasebooks for Foolproof Communication by FluentU
“It’s designed to have a ‘clean’ look, so it should be easy to refer to with few visual distractions. The book is organized in a three-column approach, with the English phrase, Spanish phrase and Spanish pronunciation all appearing side-by-side. The Penguin Spanish Phrasebook is aimed at readers with little or no Spanish experience, so it’s a good option for complete beginners.”—FluentU

She is the author of DK's The Complete Book of Spices, which enjoyed many years of success in several countries. Jill's expertise in herbs and spices has reached such a wide audience that she is frequently asked to identify spices, sent in small amounts to her by people all over the world.

Recently, Encyclopedia Britannica asked Jill to be their expert to update all of their entries on herbs and spices.
Jill created the Penguin Cookery Library in the 1960s and 1970s, bringing many first-class authors to the list. She has since become a Glenfiddich trophy winner in her own right, and is a leading authority on the use of herbs and spices.
