Title: The Rough Guide Dictionary Phrasebook Vietnamese by Rough Guides ISBN: 1-85828-750-2 Publisher: Rough Guides Pub. Date: 11 January, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $6.50 |

Rating: 5
Summary: Very Helpful
Comment: 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!

Summary: Better guide book than some.
Comment: The book is a travlers phrase book and mini dictionary. Small enough to fit in the pocket.I think it's much better than the Lonely Planet Vietnamese phrase book and it costs a dollar less too! There are "cuss words" titled Coloquialism on page 142. I can't imagine why anyone would want to use them on a trip (i.e., don't do it). So forget that page, and enjoy the rest of the book. Plenty of tips for travelers, like using mosquito repellent after dark because of the possibility of Malaria.A very useful little book.
Rating: 2
Summary: Informative in an eclectic way
Comment: 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.
