    Pronunciat ionIn order to achieve an approximation to the phoneticsof some Spanish words it is necessary to resort tocomplicated phonetic symbols; fo r that reason, theuse of a pocket book such as our ConversationGuide, would be very restricted. The user wouldhave first to memorize all the phonetic symbolsbefore being able to use the book.O ur aim is not, therefore, to teach the travellercorrect pronounciation, but, to attain that, using thenormal English letters, s/he may make himself/herself understood in any Spanish-speaking country.
