Title: handy reference, lousy tape
Product review: The book is an excellent reference, and came in handy more than once when I found myself at a small czech pub, trying to deal with waiters who don't speak English, and menus entirely in Czech. However, I would have liked to see more words and detail, especially in the food section. Once I thought I was ordering a typical czech fried pork steak--it turned out to be liver!The tapes were a joke for the most part. But I was able to get some use out of them as a supplement to the "Colloquial Czech" course by James Naughton I was taking at the same time, and as a very handy sleeping aid. The relaxation exercises will knock you out every time.
