You cannot trust the pronunciation instructions.,
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Vietnamese Dictionary Phrasebook 3 (Rough Guide Phrasebooks) (Paperback)
This book is good for learning basic Vietnamese vocabulary for the price and size.
However, I found a few grammatical mistakes. And the pronunciation instructions are horrible. For example, I don't understand why all the beginning c is instructed to pronounce as g. In fact the c sounds k. The pronunciation of "cam on", thanks in English, is shown [gam urn]. If you say like this, Vietnamese people never understand you. I have tried it already. My husband is a Vietnamese who speaks tieng Viet.

Could not travel in Viet Nam without it,

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Vietnamese Dictionary Phrasebook 3 (Rough Guide Phrasebooks) (Paperback)
This phrase and dictionary for Viet Nam has been invaluable to me during my 11 trips to Viet Nam. I lost it once and truly I was lost without it. The Lonely Planet version is more popular, but for me far less useful. It gave me the courage to try to conversion with the people when I first went and has helped me develop a fair size vocabulary. The cultural information is also unbelievable helpful especially for first trips to Viet Nam.
The only down side is that most of the pronouciation guide is based on Vietnamese from the southern part of Viet Nam, but it does mention how to adapt. I would not go to Viet Nam without it.

Pronunciation is difficult,

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Vietnamese Dictionary Phrasebook 3 (Rough Guide Phrasebooks) (Paperback)
I didn't get too deep into this book . . . after a few days of trying, I couldn't get anybody to understand me with even simple things such as "thank you". Most of that is undoubtedly on me, I was not good at the pronunciation. But of course, that's why I got the book, and it didn't help.
