My phrase guides all follow the same format. Each completed guide has over 100 words and phrases plus the numbers and alphabet. This is all organized into a four-part set plus the alphabet. Each four-part set has a printable booklet. Each of the four parts has a web page and an mp3 file. This means that you can listen to the mp3 audio of a part, while reading the corresponding page in the printed booklet, or online.

Here is a breakdown of the parts, and what else is available online:

Title Page


The title page on the internet has a directory of all available pages, some general information about the language, as well as links to online instruction sites.

The Basics Page has two parts. The first part is mostly single word greetings and the typical first words that you learn in a foreign language. The second part has sentences that you may need initially when travelling and a couple of emergency sentences.

Each page has the same page structure to help you find what you need quickly. (Once you learn the structure that is, unless the structure is obvious, which is my design goal, but probably not achieved anywhere near what I'd like.)
