This review is from: Berlitz Japanese Phrase Book & CD (English and Japanese Edition) (Audio CD)

This was very helpful in my trip to Japan. Wish I had worked with it more than two days before the trip, though. However, I'm a language professor and am used to learning languages. This was the tenth language I've studied. Methodology is to teach you phrases to function as a tourist. Audio CD very helpful. I had the pronunciation wrong in a couple of instances based upon the books phonetic rendering. So, in the phrase, "toare doko desu-ka", the last word is not pronounced, "desu-ka" but rather "deska"...There is a very brief grammar summary in the middle of the book which was too brief for me. However, the book did allow me to understand some basic phrases and I was easily understood when I used some of the phrases myself. So, for me, this worked, but wouldn't for everybody.
