This review is from: Eastern Europe: Lonely Planet Phrasebook (Paperback)

My husband and I used this book and the "Mediterranean Europe Phrasebook" during a 4-week, 7-country tour in Eastern Europe. They were perfect for our purposes - each country we visited spoke a different language, so we didn't have the ability to learn too much of each. The books had almost all of the essentials, and (both fortunately and unfortunately) we found plenty of help in English to fill in any blanks. Great (almost) pocket-size as well!

However, if you're only visiting places with one or two languages, I'd recommend getting the books for the individual languages instead.

Have a fantastic trip! ;)
