5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful for learners of Vietnamese too!, May 28, 2004
By Kong (Now in Thailand) - See all my reviews
Extremely useful and probably the first dictionary-cum-phrasebook for all Vietnamese learners (or just travellers in Vietnam) who can read English. A comprehensive English-Vietnamese word list covers all common words used in daily conversation, in some words simple dialogues are provided. The Vietnamese-English section is rather weak.

This book is not as popular as the Lonely Planet phrasebook which is really a ptiy because it's much better. Whenever I met some other travellers using the LP phrasebook (Vietnamese) I showed them this one of mine, all of them were impressed and hoped to buy this instead!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, June 4, 2001
By "eric1099" (Phoenix AZ United States) - See all my reviews
I would definately recommend this book to anyone traveling to Vietnam and wanting to converse with the locals. I took this book on my first trip to Vietnam, knowing only basic Vietnamese. I was able to have conversations with the people I met. The book is very easy to read, and the dictionary is English/Vietnamese & Vietnamese/English. The English/Vietnamese dictionary gives helpful phrases for each of the words too. There's also a pronounciation guide to help you say the words correctly. A must have!

2.0 out of 5 stars Informative in an eclectic way, June 23, 1998
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 no need to use it.
You can easily get by in Vietnam using Enlish and a few Vietnamese phrases. If you're planning an extended stay, it's probably better to properly learn Vietnamese.
