5.0 out of 5 stars Much more than a phrasebook, September 28, 2000

By	Larry Nielsen (Boise, ID United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Turkish Phrasebook: A Rough Phrasebook (Phrase Book, Rough Guide) (Turkish Edition) (Paperback)

I am taking Turkish at university. What I really like about this book is that it gives, in addition to useful phrases, an overview of the grammar (VERY important and very unusual in a phrasebook), a Turkish/English and English/Turkish Dictionary (with a lot more words than found in the typical phrasebook), and tables of things like numbers, months, etc.

If you're heading for Turkey (a travel destination I highly recommend) or studying the language, this is a terrific pocket reference (and very inexpensive!).

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!, July 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Turkish Phrasebook: A Rough Phrasebook (Phrase Book, Rough Guide) (Turkish Edition) (Paperback)

The best phrasebook for the traveller. Small, with amazing number of key words. English/Turkish and Turkish/English sections in alphabetical order. Easy to use. A must!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding (and Durable), July 8, 2003

By	My Pen Name "not me" (nowhere) - See all my reviews

My wife learned basic Turkish using tapes and books over a 6 month period in preparation for 3 months of traveling in Turkey. Her achieved skills were pretty impressive in day to day usage.

THIS is the dictionary/phrase book that she carried around everywhere, to look up words and refresh her memory. She still carries it around to review with in quiet moments. No other pocket dictionary we looked at or carries had the portability, utility, and durability of this slim but relatively comprehensive volume.

The quality and accuracy of the book is very good. However the book, binding, cover, etc are absolutely indestructible. For the very low price of this book, this is an incredible value. I have developed a lot of respect for a publisher that would create such a physically durable product at such a price.
