My idea of insults
This book had me in stitches. Talk about the laugh i had when none of my friends knew what i was saying to them in other languages! This book is well worth £3, and i would say its a great present for any friend, as long as they have a sense of humour! Very well done!

essential = minimal
quite disappointed : small book in large print, not as much to read and learn as I expected - 'international' means 'euro-continental' mainly - kind of book to hang on a chain in the loo for a minute of amusement...

Great secret santa idea - for adults only!
Ever wanted to tell someone to go away, get lost or a lot worse in a foreign language? Then this is the book for you.

With an introduction from the 'Ambassador of Insults' this pocket size book just over 100 pages contains insults split into sections titled Generic, 100% Xenophobic, Food/drink, Health & Safety, Holiday/Transport, Smells/Dirt, In-Breeding, Sexual and Ugly. Useful phrases in these categories are provided in French, German, Italian and Spanish.

If the four languages given don't suit your purpose there is also a further section with a few random insults in Afrikaans, Arabic, Brazilian Portugese, Chinese (Cantonese), Chinese (Mandarin), Dutch, Esperanto, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Norwegian, Russian, Serbian, Swedish and Welsh.

This little gem was my christmas pressie from 'Secret Santa' at work and whilst it's good for a giggle and had most of the office in fits of laughter, if you're thinking of buying it for a colleague or friend, only buy it for those who are broad-minded as it could offend as the majority of the phrases are a lot, lot worse than 'get lost' and I certainly wouldn't be able to repeat them on here.
