Okay, Larry, let me back up a bit and apologize. Are you gong to be there
for several months? If not, don't worry about it...if you try to learn you
will seem a silly gringo who took a course and now want s to converse with
bad pronunciation and worse grammar.

this is all you will need...

It's go amounts, dates, weekdays, times, requests for help and in a worst
case scenario you just point to the phrase in the book and hope they can
read....

If you have a guide for fishing, sign language and an open fly box is all
you will need.

The book even tells you how to get to the bathroom..it DOES NOT tell
you...ummm...err...and for that, you just get in a taxi and wave your hands
in an hourglass shape and he will know what you mean.

the only problems you might encounter is those who don't like Americans, in
which case it doesn't matter how well you speak,.

John....been there done that....(carry a pint in your back pocket..it's an
ice breaker...)
