Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The Berlitz cassette pack with phrase book series comes in several languages, including some harder-to-find language programs like Thai and Hebrew. The series lives up to its claim of letting listeners hear the language "as it's really spoken"--which means fast and slightly indecipherable, just like being in a foreign country and not knowing the language. For anyone who's learned the hard way that trying to understand the local language is nothing like high school language class, that's a real blessing. But true beginners may struggle to memorize the longish phrases like "I want something just like that, only smaller and cheaper." The 90-minute cassette comes with a color-coded phrasebook containing over 400 essential expressions, plus travel tips, dictionary, and a pronunciation guide that reads like another foreign language altogether.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unless you are good at Audio Cassette Learning Don't bother, June 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Berlitz Danish Phrase Book (Paperback)

If you need the personal interaction to learn a language, this is not for you. The tape pretty much speaks a useful phrase and then translates it and you are expected to repeat, remember and use it. Rather difficult to recreate the sounds of native speakers as a beginner.

This review is from: Berlitz Danish Phrase Book (Paperback)

I found the variety of situations on the tape very useful. Pronunciation is always the hardest part of Danish. As an aid to my learning, I just kept this on in the background while I cleaned the house, etc. and it was very helpful.
