So my mom is opening a bookshop and I'm going to work there as a clerk for the next several months. Now, in all phrasebooks out there there's a section for what to say when you go into a shop. I'm looking for the opposite: a phrasebook which contains phrases and expressions that the shopkeeper can use if a costumer from a foreign country enters his shop. You know, something like "Welcome to our shop", "What would you like", "That is over there", "How do you like this", "That would be [...]", etc.
I need them for at least these languages: German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Arabic, Vietnamese... at least I have heard or met individuals or groups from those language areas that visited our town. They usually had a translator however on couple of occasions I myself had to talk to those who knew English since they didn't had a translator (and this is English I'm talking about!!!). Plus, there are couple of people in my town I know who recently moved here and don't speak any local languages so I also would like to impress them too. :-D Edited by Delodephius on 19 March 2010 at 2:11pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
