3.0 out of 5 stars Czech is too hard, December 4, 2010

Czech is too hard for the transition from English phonics; without some class time in the language, interpreting the phrasebook is too hard. That's probably why this phrasebook was so hard to find. Czech sounds lovely, but when English phonics is applied to Czech spelling, the result is not pretty at all. If you're staying in Prague, English will get you by. Plenty of English is spoken, and the locals will get you someone who speaks it if they don't. Menus have English translations. Have fun in Prague!

2.0 out of 5 stars Berlitz Phrase Book review, January 9, 2010

I purchased the book December 6th and did not receive it until January 7th. I contacted the seller a few times and still have not heard anything back. The book is in excellent condition and I am happy with what I recieved- now that I have finally received it. Overall- all is well that ends well, but realistically it took way to long to get here, no one would respond to my questions, and had it arrived a few more days late the book would have been completely worthless to me, as the purpose for it would have passed.
