5.0 out of 5 stars Very Handy Little Book, July 5, 2002

By 

Steve Irons (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 10,000 German Words (Oxford Reference) (Paperback)

You won't learn how to speak German for this book, but that's not the point. Rather, this book is mainly for those who already have a fair amount of German knowledge, but who want to have a quick, handy, but extensive guide to the various words they will need in actually using the language.

In that respect if succeeds admirably. Lists are arranged thematically for easy look-up. In short, essential.
