Lonely Planet Phrasebooks
Costa Rican Spanish Phrasebook
Lounging around in a resort will make great use of your English. You could, however, grab this phrasebook and trade tiquismos with the Ticos, chase the best beach break, track down a toucan and go home knowing you’ve had an all-round pura vida time.

A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

The best phrasebook ever! It covers every possible situation and interaction (and I do mean EVERY). I feel much better prepared for my upcoming trip.

I use the word "read" loosely. This is very well done. I did learn a few phrases. I am just busy (and a bit lazy!) and therefore didn't have as much time to study.

Formatted the way all phrasebooks should be! So easy to use. I've relied on it for two trips to Costa Rica. Highly recommended if you want to learn basic Spanish quickly!
