Doing my nut in - Organising Content & Approach

I've decided the way I want to approach the context of this brief, is to produce book with a tourist information guide like quality. The Phrase books which you can purchase for other countries, I wanted to produce one for Britain, looking at specific locations which have hard to understand accents, phrases and slang. The book is to be informative and unintentionally humorous.

Looking at such phrases books, and looking back on personal experiences, I have used 20 questions to become the ground of each locatio - Questions you may want to know how to ask when visiting a new place.

5 Publications based on regional accents, using translator of Frequently asked tourist questions
