Sprachführer Rätoromanisch (Surselvisch) - Wort für Wort

Many Germans and Swiss Germans spend the summer in Graubünden at the Alps, often in the small Romansh-speaking area, and thus encounter this independent language, which is related to Italian and of which many farmers are proud: nies bi lungatg, "our beautiful language." It can also happen that you are greeted with bien di or buna sera at the post office. Perhaps you are also curious about what geographical names like Surcasti or Piz Buin mean? If you want to enjoy not only nature in Graubünden but also connect with the locals, just a few words of Romansh can help draw people out of their often perceived reserve towards the Swiss or Romansh speakers. Additionally, this language guide provides insight into life in Graubünden.

Kauderwelsch language guides by Reise Know-How – the handy and practical language books for travelers. Kauderwelsch language guides offer a quick introduction to foreign languages. All foreign language sentences in the book are translated not only meaningfully into German but also word for word. This facilitates understanding of the foreign language, allowing individual words to be quickly exchanged.

The grammar is explained briefly and understandably, as far as necessary for simple language use. The dictionary at the end provides a basic vocabulary and important terms for travelers. Interesting facts about the country and its people, as well as communication peculiarities, are conveyed alongside.

Kauderwelsch books are much more than typical travel language guides. The goal is to be able to speak after a short time, even if not always perfectly. Those who take a little time to prepare can use Kauderwelsch to engage in more intense contact with the locals while traveling and have experiences that remain hidden from silent travelers. With over 150 languages in more than 220 volumes, Kauderwelsch is extensive.
