Rick Steves' French, Italian, and German Phrase Book
Rick Steves' has
divided each language into sections of helpful phrases for the average
traveler. He includes: basics (often used phrases like hello,
goodbye, etc.); numbers, money, & time; transportation; sleeping; eating;
menu decoder; activities; phoning & mailing; help!; health; and chatting.
All phrases have an easy to understand pronunciation key printed right to
the original phrase. At the back of the book is a small but fairly
comprehensive dictionary, a tear out "cheat sheet" for each language,
telephone codes, temperature chart, metric conversion chart, and a list of
silly tongue twisters in each language.

Amazon.com Book Description
That high school French or Spanish isn't going to do you an iota of
good in most of Eastern Europe. Bulgarian, Czech, Polish, and Slovak
are all members of the Slavonic language family, while Hungarian is
a unique European language with Finno-Ugric roots (which don't grow
out). English is a good bet in many cities, and knowing some German
helps in the Czech Republic, but nothing wins goodwill like an
attempt in the native tongue, no matter how mangled your grammar and
pronunciation. In Eastern Europe Phrasebook, Lonely Planet
provides easy phrases for Eastern European travel necessities, such
as "cabbage and potatoes," "excuse me" and "please," "I'd like a
double room," and "How much does it cost?" With a healthy smattering
of vocabulary and phrases, the book fits neatly in a back pocket to
accompany you everywhere you go.
