This review is from: Berlitz Norwegian Phrase Book & Dictionary (Paperback)

Family of four spent 20 days in Norway, July 1999. Most Norwegians speak some, if not a great deal of English. Therefore, we most often needed a dictionary to interpret signs, etc. We used a dictionary frequently; we used the phrase book only on a few occasions. Reference section quite helpful.

This review is from: Norwegian Phrase Book & Dictionary (Berlitz Phrase Books) (Paperback)

Like most Berlitz travel dictionaries and phrase guides, it fits nicely in the pocket and has tons of useful info packed into the pages. It's color coded as to sections, making quick and easy reference possible in most travel situations. It is produced with decades of language teaching and tourist experience and is fun to peruse while enjoying a coffee in one of the open air cafes on Karl Johan Gate.

A nice little book of phrases for those who want to speak a little Norwegian in various settings, such as restaurants. The book also contains useful information and advice here and there, and the layout is fine too.
