English-Spanish phrasebook

In Mexico, almost all the locals speak Spanish, so a Spanish phrasebook with pronunciation is a must. If you flip through an English-Spanish phrasebook before your trip, you'll find that the language is easy to learn. By memorizing even a few words, you'll be able to get all the information you need from passers-by.

Only in Mexico's tourist centers and major cities will you have trouble communicating. The staff here are fluent not only in Spanish, but also in English, French and German. If you prefer to travel inland, you'll need a Spanish phrasebook.
