I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse. I would never be without my Xenophobe's lingo learner. -- Accredited to Emperor Charles V (1500-1558) Who needs lessons? With this book I found myself speaking Italian like a native! -- Mac O'Rhoney Phrases are given in English. Then the Spanish in italics. Then the Spanish pronunciation for the English tongue is set out in bold type and between brackets. The faster you say the words in bold type, the bolder you will become, and thus convince the natives that what they are hearing is in fact their own language. -- Inland and Coastal Trader, Spain Vital phrases will trip off your tongue, gems like: 'Why does your mother look at me in that way?', 'Is the water traditionally brown in this area?' and 'I don't have any more money!' -- From Italian for Xenophobes

Author Information

Drew Launay is the author of more than a dozen novels, plays, works of non-fiction, and BBC broadcasts. After discovering that the natives of other countries refused to understand what he was talking about, Drew devised the Xenophobe's way of coping with the problem and now speaks Spanish, French, Italian, and German like a true Brit. He lives in Nerja, near Malaga, Spain where he sits most days on the beach with his laptop writing to language professors and academics world-wide warning them that their number is up.
