Why I wrote this book
Over the past 18 years, I have had the privilege of traveling across the world and experiencing a wide range of cultures, languages, and communities. One of the most valuable lessons I have learned along the way is the power of making an effort to speak to people in their native language.
Time and time again, I have found that even the simplest attempt to communicate in a local tongue is met with warmth, appreciation, and genuine kindness. It often leads to more meaningful interactions, more positive experiences, and, on occasion, unforgettable moments - whether that’s being welcomed into a “locals-only” setting or even invited to share a family meal.
My advice to anyone traveling is simple: make the effort to speak. It can be tempting to default immediately to English, but this approach is not always well received. Even the smallest attempt to use a local language can go a remarkably long way in building connection and mutual respect.
This book is my personal collection of phrases, carefully compiled over years of travel; phrases that I have found to be the most useful, practical, and often called for in real-life situations. It is designed to be your perfect travel companion, helping you navigate new places with confidence while opening the door to more authentic and rewarding experiences.
This belief is what inspired me to create this book with the help of native speakers from around the globe. Together, we have created a resource designed to make language more accessible and to encourage meaningful communication across cultures.
My hope is that this book inspires you to connect with locals, build confidence as you travel, and experience the world more meaningfully.
Happy travels,
Roxy

How the book works:
Read this quick guide to learn the most efficient way to navigate your new language phrasebook.
The phrasebook is organized in a clear, consistent structure, with each chapter mirroring the last. This uniform layout makes it easy to move through the material quickly and confidently. Every chapter is divided into five color-coded categories:
-
Orange - Greetings
-
Green - Travel Basics
-
Yellow - Food & Dining
-
Turquoise - Days of the Week
-
Blue - Numbers
Each category is arranged into three columns:
-
The first column shows the English phrase
-
The second column provides the translated phrase
-
The third column offers a pronunciation guide to help you understand how each phrase sounds
The same set of phrases are translated into each language, with the languages presented in alphabetical order.
To help you get started, take a look at the following tables. Here you will find all of the English phrases which we have translated in this phrasebook in the left-hand column. The right-hand column shows you how to pronounce each English phrase based on the pronunciation system we have used throughout this book. The middle column has been left empty for this exercise.
Take your time to become familiar with the pronunciation table. A strong understanding of these will greatly improve your ability to correctly pronounce each language included in this phrasebook.
You should now understand that the pronunciation column breaks each word into syllables and shows exactly how it sounds. Start by reading each syllable slowly, then gradually increase your pace, blending the sounds together to form the correct pronunciation of each word. Starting slow and building speed is the best way to build your confidence over time.
The following abbreviations are used throughout the phrasebook:
-
Sg = Singular
-
Pl = Plural
-
Inf = Informal
-
Form = Formal
-
M = Male or masculine
-
F = Female or feminine
In addition, we have included a comprehensive list of countries and the language(s) spoken in each, as covered in this book. While it is not possible to include every language, as there are over 7,000 worldwide, we have determined a list of 114 languages that ensures coverage for every country.
The “List of Countries” page is the quickest way to identify which language you may need and explore your available options. Please note that some languages listed are official languages of a country, while others are spoken by a significant portion of the population.
When you navigate to a specific language page, you will also find a list of countries where that language is spoken. The first country or countries shown are those where the language holds official status. If additional countries are listed after the word “also” these indicate places where the language is widely spoken but not officially recognized.
This approach ensures you have clear, reliable language options at your fingertips, giving you the confidence to communicate effectively wherever your travels take you.
