We present the guides that the Forvo community has created in order to help with trips to those countries where you don’t speak the language.
Every recording has been made by Forvo users in everyday conditions, not in a recording studio.
The content is presented in two sections: Essentials and Useful Travel Phrases, each containing different categories relevant for travel. In Essentials there is useful vocabulary for daily situations, while Useful Travel Phrases contains helpful phrases for particular situations.
You can download the guides so that you still have access even without an internet connection.
