 Useful in Central America September 24, 2008
I took this book with me to El Salvador this summer, and a friend I made down there told me it was the best Spanish-English phrase book he'd seen (and he's seen many Americans' phrase books, he says). Just a few words here and there that he said were either antiquated, overly formal, or used in other parts of Latin America, but not El Salvador.
Good size for carrying in your pocket or passport bag. Came in handy when I was without my native Spanish-speaking friends.
Came in very handy in South America August 24, 2008

This was a great compliment to my spanish skills. I am not fluent, and therefore, this resource was a huge help. I would not count on just this, as we were in many areas with no english speakers. It was a great supplement to my Spanish I level of speaking.
I love that there were 3 dictationaries: english to spanish, spanish to english, and restaurant terms in spanish to english. All came in very handy.
Highly recommend this pocket reference!

I've kept this little baby in my back pocket for two weeks in Peru and it has been invaluable. Simple phrases have allowed me to catch the local buses, order food etc. and generally come across as not a complete gringo.
Perfect size for travel March 16, 2008

I bought this for an upcoming trip to South America. It seems like it will serve its purpose, size is just right. But since I don't know any Spanish, I'm not sure about accuracy although the choices of words and phrases seems appropriate.

This is not a Latin American Spanish course or a full dictionary as some seem to think it should be. It contains many useful words and phrases that are helpful for travellers and for those taking a comprehensive language course and want to be able to speak the language quickly. I found it quite helpful.
