By A Customer

This review is from: Vietnamese Word Book (Rainbow International Word Book Series) (Paperback)

This book, illustrated with line drawings, introduces a few hundred words useful for daily life among Vietnamese people.

It has the flavor of a children's book, with big pictures, a few words on a page. It has the flair of a successful children's book, in that everything makes sense, both in ways you can point to - all the words on clothes comes together, all the words on the food, etc. - and in ways I can't put my finger on. The book feels good to use. There's a nice spirit to it, perhaps an outcome of a successful collaboration between the author in California and the artist in Ha Noi.

I have ten years' mixed experience with the language, academic and domestic, and am using the book to prepare to use the language of daily life again. I think that others will find it suits their purposes as well.
