Description
About the Book. The Hebrew Phrasebook & Dictionary provides Hebrew expressions for practical situations and brief encounters during your travels. Lonely Planet uses English as a supporting language and compiles phrases to help you ask questions, order, and attempt conversations. This book offers a starting point for those who wish to use a few words themselves and become more familiar with the language.
Contents. Topics include transport, accommodation, shopping, food, and social interaction. Pronunciation guidance supports the use of expressions, and tips on customs and etiquette provide background for encounters. You will also find sentence starters, basic information on numbers and time, and language for requesting assistance. A two-way dictionary with approximately 3,500 words allows for further lookups when a ready-made phrase does not cover what you wish to say.
