5.0 out of 5 stars THE Polish Survival Guide, June 19, 2000

By 

Andrew Becker - See all my reviews

This review is from: Polish Phrase Book (Berlitz Phrase Books) (Paperback)

The Berlitz Polish Phrase Book gives the reader what he/she needs. In a variety of situations, Berlitz provides phrases and vocabulary to help tourists survive and thrive in Poland. For those going for an extended stay these phrases and vocabulary provide a great starting point for beginning to master the language. Also provides tips on verb conjugation and other grammar problems. Some sections can even be read for humor. The guide is so thorough you will never need to use many of the phrases involving dating or customs confrontations. However it is good to have information about how to summon an ambulance or the police in an emergency. Whole-heartedly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY Helpful!, August 2, 2005

This review is from: Berlitz Polish Phrase Book & Dictionary (Berlitz Phrase Book) (Paperback)

I typically don't write reviews for books. However, I'm making the exception with this one. I am from the US and am dating a guy from Poland. We will be leaving in a few weeks to visit his family in Poland. They don't speak English, and I don't speak Polish. So as a last ditch effort to bridge the conversation gap, I ordered this book to keep in my purse...I figure that if all else fails, I can just point to what I'm trying to say in the book. However, now that I have this book, I actually think I might have a fighting chance at actually carrying on a conversation, or at least forming sentences. The phonetic pronunciations are EXCELLENT! However, it does help that my boyfriend speaks Polish so he can pronounce any words that I get hung up on. If you are able to figure out the pronunciations, they are really dead on! I highly recommend this book. I'm sure I'll be using it for years to come because it is amazing how much information Berlitz crammed in that one little book! Very impressive!!

This book covers a lot in a simple format. Easy to use. I purchased several dictionaries, but this book is my bible. The best that I have come across.
