2.0 out of 5 stars
Informative in an eclectic way,
By Johanne LePage(johanne.lepage@mailexcite.com) (the United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vietnamese Phrasebook: A Rough Guide Phrasebook (Phrase Book, Rough Guide) (Vietnamese Edition) (Paperback)
This is a good phrasebook... but really not for the phrases itself. The best part is the cultural tidbits that are sprinkled throughout the English/Vietnamese section. The book gives such helpful tips as "Don't kiss your partner in public" and "Riding on pedicabs is dangerous." The words selected were very basic and the approximated pronunciation spellings were inaccurate. Also be warned of a page marked "Colloquialisms", in other words, profanity. I had the misfortune of trying these out and my listener, though a close friend, was very offended. Not a bad buy for the money, but I wouldn't pay any more for it.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Better guide book than some.,
By Lovin' The Truth (Deep in the South, US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vietnamese Phrasebook: A Rough Guide Phrasebook (Phrase Book, Rough Guide) (Vietnamese Edition) (Paperback)
The book is a travlers phrase book and mini dictionary. Small enough to fit in the pocket.I think it's much better than the Lonely Planet Vietnamese phrase book and it costs a dollar less too! There are "cuss words" titled Coloquialism on page 142. I can't imagine why anyone would want to use them on a trip (i.e., don't do it). So forget that page, and enjoy the rest of the book. Plenty of tips for travelers, like using mosquito repellent after dark because of the possibility of Malaria.A very useful little book.
