The phonetic transcription throughout the book enables you to pronounce every word correctly. • ConsuJt the Contents pages (3-5) for the section you need . In each chapter you'll find travel facts, hints and useful information. Simple phrases are followed by a list of words applicable to the situation. • Separate, detailed contents lists are included at the heginning of the extensive Eating out and Shopping guide sections (Menus, p. 40, Shops and services, p. 97). • If you wan t to find out how to say something in Hungarian, your fastest look-up is via the Dictionary section (pp . 164-189). This not only gives you the word, but is also cross-referenced to its use in a phrase on a specific page. • If you wish to learn more about constructing sentences, check the Basic grammar (pp . 159-163). • Note the colour margins are indexed in Hungarian and English to help both listenerand speaker. And, in addition, thereis also an index in Hungarian for the use of your listener. • Throughout the book, this symbo! . . . suggests phrases your listener can use to answer you.

mi fogunk vásárolni maguk fognak vásárolni• you .. . ti fogtok vásárolni they .. . ISk fognak vásárolni

we . . . you .. .

mi vagyunk maguk vannak• ti vagytok 8k vannak
