Minimum vocabulary of English words
Specify where you can download the Minimum vocabulary of English words in MP-3 format for communication. I understand that now there are many Russian-speaking hotels, but still you need to know at least some minimum.

It makes no sense for you to do this, since the guides are Russian-speaking, and in hotels almost everyone speaks Russian, in shops the sellers speak Russian

Unfortunately, I won’t help, but I’ll object to REDFOX - hotel staff very rarely speak Russian, at least I rarely came across such ones. But the sellers yes, for the most part they say. And very bearable. :)

As my teacher joked, there is nothing difficult in asking something in English, the difficulty is that in the end you will be answered ...
Or maybe my friend’s method will come in handy for you, he traveled abroad with a laptop with an electronic dictionary / translator (phone, PDA, electronic translator with pronunciation, by the way, an option), wrote down his questions on paper, he was also answered, he understood little by little.

I completely agree with Zlata28.
The maximum that I got after 14 days in Turkey was bir bira (one beer) and gunaydin (good morning).
All other conversations in the hotel on the market in shops are gestures and a pen and paper (or an alternative calculator on which the seller picks up his price, and you, in turn, yours).
Everyone knows the lira, the dollar and the euro. (P.S. if you hear the terrible word Yuro - this is the euro, any numbers can be shown on your fingers)

I have been to Turkey many times and in different hotels, cheap and expensive. I know English well. But in Turkey it was very difficult to find a person (Turkish) who would understand English. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I got the impression that the Turks are not friends with English. Therefore, in my opinion, it makes no sense to teach it for a trip to Turkey.

And I do so. I print out a mini-dictionary of the desired country from the Internet and take it with me, usually there are words of the desired country and English next to it. Ask in their language for discounts, thank you, please, yes, no. They all like it, especially in private shops and small shops when shopping. I have never studied English, but oddly enough I explain myself with the help of a few words and gestures, and I write numbers. In the most extreme and difficult cases, I turn to the guide. And if the hotel has a Russian speaker, there is no problem at all.

When I didn't know English. felt insecure. Now I have learned a little, and it has become much more convenient. I had, for example, to go to the first-aid post (while they phoned the translator), I myself was able to explain everything. Or, if there is some minor problem, you don’t think, at least there was someone who speaks Russian at the reception, you go and talk. Unfortunately, I can't give you a definitive answer to your question. But if you can, learn a little. I do not agree. that you may not know at all and do not need to learn.

take with you an ordinary small phrase book, where pronunciation and conversational topics are written, and that’s all. Personally, English came in handy for me in Turkey

You can download or buy a simple Russian-English phrasebook. But the Turks speak German better than English, so it is better to go to Turkey with German, and even better - with a Turkish phrasebook. Although, as a Turkish translator, I will say that there are often mistakes in phrasebooks.

I visited Turkey for the first time in 1998. Then 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 followed in a row. So. . In 98, I had the opinion that the Turks know only German from foreign languages - the vast majority of Germans were vacationers. I know German and felt very comfortable. Since 2005, the situation has changed dramatically. Turks over 40 years old (who need to communicate with tourists) know German very well and they have to START learning English. And the staff and sellers younger than this age, many do not know German at all. At least this is the situation in Aliya. Young people in general, almost no one strums German with their feet. It's good that I have a child in an English school and I HAVE to check his homework. So I know the minimum vocabulary. But the Turkish words do not fit in the head. In addition to "merhab" - hello and "sheriff" - for health, we did not remember anything.

I returned from Turkey and once again I was convinced that it is better to know at least a few words of Turkish, when you will be treated even better, just great. It is very nice for Turks if you at least greet them (merhaba) in Turkish. They immediately smile and are ready to make any concessions to you. And if you learn a couple more words or phrases (which we did), then you will be the best guests for the Turks. There are many short Turkish phrasebooks on the Internet. we printed one of them and it helped us a lot

When I asked in broken English how much a thing costs in a store in the village of Chamyova, they answered me: speak Russian, I know Ukrainian. To really know only the most necessary words in English is hello, thank you, please, water (beer), how much it costs (it’s better to take a calculator and ask to dial the cost on it) and be sure to know the name of the hotel, in which area you are located and preferably a phone number. And the most important thing is to be polite and not snort.
