Scandinavian Phrase Books and Dictionaries (Berlitz Series)

Dubbed “the world’s best-selling phrase books,” the Berlitz Series is a good buy for an English-speaking tourist to these Scandinavian Countries. Broken down by basic expressions — arrival, hotel, eating out, sightseeing, relaxing, shopping guide, bank, mail, telephone, doctor — these handy books contain a color-coded system that makes words and phrases easy to find. Each book also contains handy travel information, tips, a reference section, an overview of grammar, and a small dictionary.

(Note: These books (4″ X 5.5″) are not the same as the Berlitz Pocket Dictionaries.)

These little books, subtitled “quick guides to customs and etiquette” of different countries, provide essential information about attitudes, beliefs and behavior in these countries. Books in the Culture Smart! series are written to ensure that visitors arrive at a destination aware of basic manners, common courtesies, and sensitive issues.

These concise guides tell one what to expect, how to behave, and how to establish a rapport with hosts. Contents include tips about customs, values, and traditions as well as a beginner’s glimpse of various countries’ history, religious, and political backgrounds.

The tips give one enough information about home and daily life, leisure and social practices, and acceptable business practices to enable one to steer clear of embarrassing gaffes and mistakes, make one feel confident in unfamiliar situations, and teach one how to develop trust, friendships, and successful business relationships.
