How to Say Fabulous! in 8 Different Languages: A Travel Phrase Book for Gay Men Paperback – March 1, 2006

This is so incredibly useful! The terminology in here is (to my knowledge) not gathered anywhere on the website. I've always been deeply curious about this kind of vocabulary, and although I don't travel often, I interact with a lot of guys who know these languages and it's fun to confidently flirt in their native tongue. My only complaint is that the authors pushed hard for a standard set of words in each language, which occasionally encountered a hiccup where that word/phrase wasn't really in use in a given language. I also would have appreciated a note or two about how to distinguish all the derogatory terms and swear words from one another.

I got this as a present for my partner as we travel a few times a year. It's an easy to read book that breaks down the words well and the pages are colour coded for each language. Some phrases I don't think I would ever find myself saying, but there are some good ones.

Some helpful phrases, but too many flippant remarks that I would never use.

Great and funny book. I got it for my brother and it's incredibly hilarious, witty and clever. Let the laughs begin!

First of all, the book is small enough to be a convenient carry-along. It is very thorough and covers most every sexual and nonsexual situation you can think of (REALLY) and it enables you to converse easily with native speakers. Each entry is also listed with its phonetic pronunciation. I tried out a German phrase on some guy I knew and he said "OMG how on earth did you learn that??" Some of the phrases are probably not always going to be used, but are translated and form the basis for comic relief (e.g., "Doll, if you're going to lip-sync, the least you can do is learn the words"). I say buy the book, it will certainly come in handy! The Spanish in particular also has regional differences which is very useful.

I received this book as a gift from a brilliant friend many years ago, and have found it ESSENTIAL when planning trips overseas. You will be the envy of all dinner parties when you teach everyone how to say "PLEASE STOP, YOU'RE SPLITTING ME IN HALF" in Portugese or "HOW MUCH FOR THE UGLY LAMP" in French. Buy this book and get ready to roll in laughter!!

This is an indispensible book. I use it every day. Priceless information. Get it.

Not only is this a useful phrasebook but tons of fun! The phrases cover most subjects but the book is not big to throw in a suitcase. A great gift for all your gay friends.
