Book Description

This is not your typical tourist phrasebook. It contains over 75 categories of terms in Hmong and English with over 4,000 terms, phrases and sample sentences. Also included is a guide to the English and Hmong alphabet and pronunciation. The English / Hmong Phrasebook is designed to be used by the English speaker to learn the basics of the Hmong language or for a Hmong speaker to learn the basics of English. If you are intending to learn any new language, you'll need to get a phrasebook. The purpose of the phrasebook is to give you practice in real-life situations. Memorizing phrases ahead of time is the BEST way to use a phrasebook. Your grammar book, and sometimes even your course, does not give you the "Which room is mine?" kind of phrases. Yes, you will need to flip through the book to find responses or the next question on a different topic, but that is only if you do not practice a bit ahead of time. You can't beat this book - for the price and the small, yet concise and relevant content. Learn how to tell time, order food, go through customs, as well as greetings and social conversations.
