The Q'eqchi' Phrasebook and Travel Dictionary is a useful resource for those traveling in areas where Q'eqchi' is spoken or for anyone who wants to learn this Mayan language. This includes not only tourists but also, for example, non-Spanish speaking medical, humanitarian or religious volunteers working in Q'eqchi' communities. This book is also designed to be useful to Q'eqchi' speakers seeking to work or study in English-speaking countries, and the trilingual format in this phrasebook will likewise be useful for Q'eqchi' speakers in Belize who already speak English but who don't yet have the Spanish language skills that are helpful when traveling in Guatemala. There are three principal sections in this phrasebook: * Section I is a compilation of over 1,500 phrases presented in 20 principal sections and distributed over more than 100 subtopics. Topics include things like Greetings, Weather, Shopping, Asking Directions, Seeking Help, etc. Each phrase or word is first given in Q'eqchi' and is then followed by the English and Spanish equivalent(s). * Sections II and III contain compact English~Q'eqchi' and Spanish~Q'eqchi' bilingual travel dictionaries that include the terms used in the sections and example phrases along with other commonly used words that travelers are likely to need to look up at some point.
