I just got the new edition of this phrase book recently and must say that it's very good. I've been learning German for almost three years and this guide from Berlitz is one of the best on the market. This is truly the book to have whether you're just learning German as a hobby, or if you're going on a trip to Germany.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not an easy learning tool, August 6, 2000

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

This is more of a reference book designed for walking around Germany and being able to flip through the pages and hold a basic conversation. I expected it to be a lesson, but it was just lists after lists of words. Not very helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars didn't even use it, March 29, 2002

I wish I'd spent the money for this book on something else. I never even cracked it open. It is very easy to get around in Germany without it--even a single traveler with no real plan in mind can communicate with relative ease. I'd probably only need this book if I were taking a German Language class.
