Aphasialady

Another good choice for people with aphasia

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

This little book comes in handy during my aphasia group meetings. I am a speech-language pathologist (SLP). I run aphasia communication groups. Aphasia is an acquired communication disorder resulting from a "brain" thing. Most often, people acquire aphasia as a result of a stroke, but can also get it from a head injury, brain infection, tumor, progressive brain disorder, etc. Aphasia can impact communication output systems, such as talking, writing and making meaningful gestures (like gesturing for people to "come here") and/or communication input systems like understanding what you read, what people say to you or what gestures mean (like the gesture one might make if you cut them off in traffic). In my groups, people with aphasia use the books to point to items when they cannot say the word. The additional benefit is the small size. They fit into a pocket neatly.

A Fantastic Travel Companion

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2015

I originally received this back in 2002 from a friend when I was headed to Europe for a study abroad program. I have since replaced it at least six times, because I keep giving it away to friends who are going to a place where they don't speak the language, and they have all reported back that they not only loved it, they used the heck out of it. I found it was most helpful when we were traveling to more remote areas where English wasn't as prevalent than in bigger cities. The map was probably the most used portion of the book, but there were many other photos that came in handy.

Smaller than I expected but the size was advertised properly. Would fit perfectly in an inside suit jacket pocket. I am not using it to travel but to help my nonverbal son communicate.

too small to be useful

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a TINY booklet (not even like a real book). Has 6 pics to each page and several items crammed into each little picture. I'd have to carry a magnifying glass for this to be useful and even then the pictures are not organized by categories, so it's a game of flip the pages and see if you can find what you want. Very disappointed. Sending it back.

Verdict is still out

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

I may have to update this review once I actually use the book for an upcoming trip. My initial impression is that it's nice and small, about passport size but 2-3 times thicker which makes it convenient to carry around. However there are a TON of pictures, so you have to become more familiar with where everything is in order to know to what to use in your "conversations" and find it quickly.

I also thought the photos looked outdated, but as long as they get the point across, I won't complain.

I tried to imagine past scenarios where I would have found this book useful. There is one page that has all the basic colors, and the food pages would have been useful. I'm more doubtful about how the different medicines pictured would be helpful for me, since they are all pretty small, but we shall see.

Book is comprehensive; pictures are small

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2010

Verified Purchase

I found this book really helpful. It's smaller and thinner than I expected, and the pictures are small, but it was a great universal tool. I mostly used it to show people where I was from, indicate what I wanted to drink, clarify what type of meat I was ordering from menus, and ask where I could find a Western-style toilet.

Book contents:
Food - Table setup, animals & meats, grains, beverages, vegetables & fruits, nuts

Hotel - Bathroom fixtures, room type, bed sizes, room fixtures, amenities, camping gear, trailers & tents

Transportation - Trains, cars, vans, taxis, boats, planes, buses, bikes, gondolas, parking lots, problematic situations (being boxed in, car accident, etc.), weather

A must have when traveling.

I never travel without this book and I love to give it as a gift to travelers. It is ingenious! It is such a great tool. When traveling to a foreign country, even if you know the language there is always something you don’t know the word for. Most likely that thing is in this book. So just point of the picture.

The photos are a bit odd, but this is definitely useful in cases where you don't speak the native language. The description on Amazon could be clearer--there is NO language in here at all. Only pictures.

Asia

TLDR; I'm returning.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this out of curiousity and also because I get 10% student discount so it was only £5.49. It's essentially a bunch of cramped crowded pictures accumulated and printed on a checkbook. You're honestly better off printing a bunch of generic photos off Google Images yourself or downloading a language app onto your phone because the way this is laid out, some of the photos are so crammed with detail that if you don't have a fine point like a pen you could be pointing at a minimum of 3 things. It's a weird mismatch of weirdly detailed dated photos but at the same time, missing some key things, e.g. there is no clear image to indicate being vegetarian. Purchase if you want a book you might use once or twice on a trip because you haven't got your phone or it's run out of battery or as a piece of toilet literature (maybe use it as pricey uncomfortable toilet tissue?)

Same old, same old - an App is better

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this to replace my tatty old one thinking that the updated 20th edition (!) would have some modern pictures - but NO! The editors have more or less kept the same photos, dropping in a couple of extra 21st century gadgets - but it is essentially the same - in fact I would say it is worse as it is less logically laid out. I will mostly be relying on my phone App - but wanted this in my back pocket in case I lose my phone or can't get a connection. But I actually think I am better off printing out some pictures of 'in case of emergency' essentials

Small book, useful to have in restaurants.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Very useful book for a recent trip to Japan. Some of the pictures are a little small and it's questionable on whether some of them are really required. I did use this book a few times in restaurants and found it useful to order food.

Overall I found this book useful as it was small enough to take with me everywhere for use just in case I needed it.

My husband and I both bought a copy for our trip to China via the 'Stans and Mongolia. While most places we found enough English-speaking people to get by, the book has proved its worth in negotiating menus in remote areas. Restaurant owners have found the book amusing and we've had some great meals as a result.
