like, 'Where is the..?' and 'How
much is this?' to the more advanced, 'Are
you sure this is a different temple?' and 'Is that a ghost?!'.

Pronunciation:
It would be impossible to adequately
express, in text, the correct pronunciation of the phrases
below, so to avoid being misinterpreted by the old woman
at the bus stop, can we suggest you use the printable version
to break the ice on your next train journey and have a local
talk you through the correct pronunciation? And
if they suggest any useful phrases, let us know and we'll
add them to the list.
