This is a handy little book containing the Spanish, Italian, French, German, and Russian versions of what are euphemistically called "four letter words" in English. The presentation is straightforward and includes pronunciation guides and useful phrases. I would also recommend "Scheisse!" (German), "Drek!" (Yiddish), and "Dermo!" (Russian) for a more detailed (and especially in the case of "Dermo!", hilarious) treatment. (
