.The Rough Guide to Mexico (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

by: John Fisher, Zora O'Neill, Paul Whitfield, Daniel Jacobs

July 05, 2007
This book has loads of info about culture, religion, history and the like, all the kinds of things I thought I would find out about on the trips we took around the Yucatan(but didn't because the Thomson tour guide didn't speak very good English). If you wish to travel to landmarks or historical sites, you will find a wealth of rich and interesting information which will give you real insight into your visit.

However, on the downside, if you are one of the thousands of people who wish to travel to a popular resort, such as Cancun, you will find very basic details, tainted with a kind of horrified wonder of why anyone would want to travel to such places. There is a seeming expectation that everyone reading the book would prefer to stay in a grotty ... Read More:

.Yucatan (Lonely Planet Regional Guides)

by: Ray Bartlett, Daniel Schechter

November 01, 2006
If you are familiar with the Lonely Planet series you know what this book is about, and as with the other LP guides I found it very helpful during my trip. Lots of great info for the traveler who likes to explore off the beaten path and the economy minded traveler. Very helpful info concerning the ruin sites. Made my hole trip great! The only sad part was my visit to Playa Del Carmen. Last time I was there was over ten years ago when it was a small village with unpaved streets, now it has grown into a small version of Cancun. Oh! one other bit of advice, If your into the ruin sites you must read John Loyd Stevens books.

Since my original review I have to add a recommendation: TOURIST IN THE YUCATAN cool thriller set in the Yucatan!

.The Rough Guide to Mexican Spanish (A Dictionary Phrasebook)

by: Lexus

October 07, 1999
The first time I went to Mexico I tried my Galician on the people and I did not get anywhere. They simply could not understand me. Recently I have been back and took this guide with me. It made a lot of difference. I managed to communicate and the Mexican people I talked to looked happy I spoke their language instead of trying to impose the language of Spain on them.

This guide covers all the expected areas, like food, shopping, accommodation, etc. It is very good, but more phrases would be even more helpful. Then you could use the vocabulary lists in more combinations and enlarge what you can say. Perhaps there will be an extended edition with more of it. I will buy it too!

.Latin American Spanish (Lonely Planet Phrasebook)

from: Lonely Planet Publications

October 01, 2003
I found the colour coded sections very easy to navigate. I travelled for two months in South America and found that by and large the menu items were in the food and drink section, and usually a word or similar word could be found in the dictionary. The regional variations are helpful, for example a bus station could be 'estacion de Autobuses ', or 'terminal de omnibuses', depending on where you are.

I never really used the front grammar section, and there's no past or future tenses, but it's amazing how much Spanish you pick up from it. Small, discreet and fast to access once you know the sections, I would highly recommend this book. A Spanish CD course before I left helps with pronounciation pitfalls, but generally the phonetic spelling is spot on.
