How to Say Fabulous! in 8 Different Languages: A Travel Phrase Book for Gay Men

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.

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!

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.

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.

Good

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 got this for one of my birthday's and as I moved to London and more and more of my friends got into international relationships, I bought this book for their birthdays.. Always a winner gift!!

Practical useful language for everyone but also very funny stereotypical 'gay' expressions and attitudes - sent out to squaddies in Afghanistan - you never know when they might have to say 'those pants so don't go with those shoes' in Japanese!

I have bought this book 3 times I love it so much.
