phrase books
Traveler's language guides
Phrase books are pocket-sized guides containing common expressions and vocabulary for travelers in foreign countries.
Unlike dictionaries, they organize content by situation—ordering food, asking directions, finding a hotel—with translations and often phonetic pronunciations: I picked up a phrase book before my trip to Tokyo.
Digital translation apps have largely replaced them.
