The German SpeakOut guide combines a dictionary, menu decoder, and phrasebook in one durable, pocket-sized package, with color photos throughout. Written by native speakers in an accessible, easy-to-understand style, it introduces Germany and her people and provides entertaining insights into the varied delights of German cuisine. Readers learn how to follow a menu in German, order local specialties like bratwurst in Frankfurt or rollmop herrings along the northern coast, and sample a range of beers and piquant white wines. Dialogue boxes throughout the two-way dictionary ensure that travelers can deal with every situation, from changing a tire to making a doctor's appointment. In addition, two PopOut phrase menus provide instant access to 200 essential phrases on eating, shopping, traveling, and sightseeing, and a light-up pen in the spine can be used on notes pages at the back of the dictionary.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Full of mistakes,
By A. Reader (Kingston, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: German SpeakOut: Phrase book, menu decoder, two-way dictionary (Paperback)
I just happened to look through this book for fun when I had some time to kill at a bookstore. I am a native speaker of German and was flabbergasted by the number of errors in this little book-- sometimes several on each page. Each error was one that no native speaker would ever make, just non-sensical stuff, more like the work of a first year student of German who was "creatively" playing around with words.
The concept itself is kind of nice with the fold-out sheet of important phrases etc., but they really should have used a native speaker to proof read it. At the very least, they could have taken a German dictionary and checked if the words offered as translations are actually German words.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great little book,

This review is from: German SpeakOut: Phrase book, menu decoder, two-way dictionary (Paperback)
This book does not pretent to make you fluent in German. But, it is does include some great if very basic words and phrases. It has a great section on food, drink and food prepartion. This is essential for reading menus in Germany. It also has a good set of phrases for tourists in Germany. It also comes with a basic but useful german-english/english-german dictionary.
The the little book also includes a small pen with a light. The book will fit into a large shirt pocket or most back pockets. I recommend this book for people traveling in Germany with translators for most of the great. This is great for dining out, shopping, or asking directions.
