5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pocket resource, September 5, 1999

By A Customer

Family of four used this frequently in July 1999, 20 day trip to Norway. Only once did it not contain the word we were searching for. Even if word desired is not listed, most likely a coorelated word will be that enables one to figure out what the unlisted word means.

5.0 out of 5 stars believe me, this one works, August 24, 2001

By	Terje Liljendahl (Providence, RI USA) - See all my reviews

I travelled to Norway in the summer of 2000. Because I am from Copenhagen, Denmark, originally, I knew that anybody there who knew Norwegian would also be able to understand Danish. This is however an awkward situation for both speakers of the languages due to several pronunciation changes, and it can be said jokingly that Norwegians sometimes can't understand Danes. If you are a speaker of Norwegian, Swedish, or Danish, the book probably won't cause much trouble. Even English speakers are surprised on occasion to learn that almost everybody who speaks one of those three languages natively also knows English. But, if you are determined to learn the language, this dictionary will serve as a great source of vocabulary. It would be best for travel, though; students who seek the grammatical aspects of the language should try another dictionary. The words listed are commonly heard, and this book boosts Norwegian vocabulary greatly. There are also sections on food, conversion tables, and short grammar tables, although the latter are not very well explained. For the price, this is a very good selection to choose.

2.0 out of 5 stars For travellers not for readers, January 23, 2000

By	Jesse Thorstad (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews

This book was designed principally for Norwegians learning English, not the other way around. It makes a fine travel dictionary to carry with you in Norway. But if you are hoping to read a Norwegian text, don't count on this book.
