Of limited use
This phrasebook was of very limited use to me. The selection of Spanish phrases or terms in any given section invariably excluded the very thing I needed to know. Dining: How do I ask for restaurant reservations? Shopping: How do I ask if they have other sizes? Conversion Tables: No US->Europe shoe size chart? The menu guide was an odd collection of words...

Dining: How do I ask for restaurant reservations? Shopping: How do I ask if they have other sizes? Conversion Tables: No US->Europe shoe size chart?
The menu guide was an odd collection of words and terms with no pronunciation guide, thanks. Some dishes were given very specific descriptions, others were uselessly generic (empanada gallega and empanada santiaguesa are both just "fish pie.") Certain specialties of Spain are completely absent -- how is it possible that the words iberico, bellota, and patanegra are nowhere to be found? Mini-dictionary is only English-Spanish, and seems to be randomly selected words, so if you want to know how to ask for something specific, you'd best hope that it has been included in a phrase in the appropriate section. |
