4.0 out of 5 stars
Big help for new beginners from Sweden,
By Jonathan (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Ethiopian Amharic Phrasebook (Paperback)
We went on holiday to Ethiopa and brought this book with us. It turned out to be a very useful. The book is pedagogically constructed and you can quickly find what you're looking for. As a tourist you get a good insight of the countries culture and social behaviour. I recommed this book to everyone who is planning to go to Ethiopia on holiday or try to learn Amharic at home.

Helpful but full of mistakes,
By "kibler" (Germany, Wuerzburg) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Ethiopian Amharic Phrasebook (Paperback)
Although this pocketbook is helpful for beginners it has one big mistake: phrases and words are written in Amharic letters (which is a good thing) but the authors were really careless when they proofread the book. In many cases the word (or phrase) written in Amharic does not correspond to it's English translation ... which leads to misunderstandings as soon as one uses the book for nonverbal communication (and that was the idea behind the usage of amharic letters)!

Lonely Planet Ethiopian Amharic Phrasebook,
By James Safron "Jami" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Ethiopian Amharic Phrasebook (Paperback)
This book is excellent! I don't understand some of the reviews.
It is a rare book that promotes Ethiopia and its culture. It is intended for foreign travellers to Ethiopia and not for Ethiopians who live abroad. I have travelled to Ethiopia with this book and found it very useful. I don't know what I would have done without it. I found the cultural info very useful. I think no other phrasebook offers this kind of info.
