 Good, but could be better. September 4, 2008
C. H. Walker
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a phrase book, it's great. I found it quite helpful in our short visit to Poland. However:
As a source of definitions for many commonly used words in Polish,it could be much better. When I tried to use the dictionary section with a Polish family we were living with, they decided it was not very useful to them.
Also, many of the words used in the phrases (and their English equivalents) are not included in the dictionary portion of the book, so sometimes it's difficult to find the phrase you want to use.

This little pocket book contains solid Polish grammar and vocabulary information; it concentrates on popular phrases that one would need when traveling. It's small size is very handy and graphics help follow the book without confusion.
Lonely Planet or Berlitz? September 14, 2007

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This phrase book is meant to provide Berlitz some competition. I consider LP to be slightly more useful because i) short paragraphs are included about important social behavior and ii) there are more words in the dictionary. I found the arrangement in LP better for studying. Berlitz addresses a greater variety of situations.
