Книга на английском для путешествующих по Германии. Сочетает в себе разговорник и указания по повседневной жизни в этой стране: поможет понять меню и дорожные знаки, расскажет о том, как правильно дать чаевые и т.п. Есть небольшой словарь (5000 слов).
Книга на любителя учить немецкий по-английски :-) По-видимому, следует учитывать достаточно давний год издания и не полностью доверять практической информации, типа особенностей дачи чаевых, т.к. она могла здорово устареть.
Обложку, к сожалению, найти не удалось. Когда-нибудь я сфотографирую и загружу свою.
