Three points of Nizami.1. Sentences are grouped in themes2. Situational dialogs are preferredAnd the most important item.3. Short tutorials (just in one or two sentences) of how you are supposed to act in different situations depending on the country. e.g. http://wikitravel.org/en/Chinese_phrasebook has the following useful note "In most Chinese cities, there are no telephone booths. Instead, small street shops have telephones which can usually be used for national calls...."Please note that "Language is not equal to country". Chinese is spoken outside mainland China. English is spoken everywhere.The same can be said about some planned languages.So short country-specific explanations are of great use. We should add them to Nizami.

I agree to both. When you modify the question on the phrasebook, don't
forget to modify the answer to sumti.
