4.0 out of 5 stars A useful tape/book combo for learning vocabulary and phrases, November 17, 1999

I am using the tape in my car to learn vocabulary and find the pronunciacion clear, and definitely useful as Nepali sounds are different enough from English that it is difficult to know how to read a word correctly. I like to learn many words, then phrases at the beginning of my study of a language, and this tape has been helpful, even in it's limited nature. 4 Stars because it is good - and accurate to it's title

3.0 out of 5 stars A useful supplement for learning Nepali, November 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Nepali for Trekkers: 90 Minutes of Phrases and Vocabulary (Audio Cassette)

I put the casette on my car stereo and listened to it about 100 times before my trip. When I got to Nepal, I had developed an "ear" for the sound of the language (the tape has a Nepali native speaker pronouncing the words) but not much vocabulary or grammar. The phrases in this book are, as promised, oriented towards trekking (asking directions, hiring porters etc..) so they are not quite what you need for social chit-chat. However, in conjunction with the vocabulary in the back of "The Nepal Handbook" by Kerry Moran, I had a good foundation for basic communication. I spent six weeks in Nepal and learning a little bit of language really made the trip a whole lot more fun even though you could get along fairly well there speaking only English. I was definitely glad that I took the time to use this language tape since it helped me pick up the language a lot faster once I got to Nepal, but don't expect it to stand alone as your only source for learning Nepali language.

This out-of-print book is advertised as "Language Tape and Phrase Book". When it arrived from a used book seller there was ONLY THE PHRASE BOOK, which is next to useless WITHOUT THE TAPES that allow you to hear the correct pronunciation. I immediately returned the book to the seller. Hopefully my next credit card will show the refund. The phrase book itself is OK, but it's dishonest to advertise it as coming with the language tapes when it does not.
