1.0 out of 5 stars Pitiful, avoid it at all costs, March 9, 2001
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Hungarian Dictionary Phrasebook: A Rough Guide Phrasebook, First Edition (Rough Guide Phrasebooks) (Paperback)
Rough Guide's HUNGARIAN PHRASEBOOK is one of the poorest phrasebooks I have ever come across. In fact, it isn't even a real phrasebook, but rather a slim dictionary with occassional cultural commentary. This was *totally* unhelpful on my trip to Hungary, and I feel sorry for anyone who has purchased it.

Bottom line: get Berlitz's phrasebook instead, but steer clear of this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware: NOT a Phrasebook!, September 18, 2004
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Hungarian Dictionary Phrasebook: A Rough Guide Phrasebook, First Edition (Rough Guide Phrasebooks) (Paperback)
I must agree with the first review that this is NOT a phrasebook at all!
After an introduction of Hungarian grammar on 30 pages or so (which is not bad and the only reason I gave it even 2 stars), there follows an alphabetically arranged dictionary, with phrases containing some of the words listed inserted under the word's listing, and boxed texts on cultural hints scattered throughout.
Calling this a phrasebook is a misnomer!

If you want a real phrasebook, go for the Berlitz or the Lonely Planet one.
