Negative Positive
Title: Informative in an eclectic way
Review: 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.
