Handy pocket assistance.
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2001
This is the best language book I've ever bought, and I speak good German and Spanish in addition to English. I picked this book up used for [cheap] at a cozy bookstore in historic Julian, CA. Frustrated to death with tapesets that have no booklets, booklets that are impossible to read, rote memorization of "vocab" lists that aren't used in conversation-- this book was a refreshing alternative. As someone who speaks English and German, Danish was an easy-to-comprehend mixture of the two. The book starts out with hundreds of common phrases "I'm from America" "I'm here on business," "Where can I find good theaters..." and then introduces more vocabulary words. They've brought out all the essentials of the language, in a clear, pocket-size manual you can carry around in your shirt pocket while bicycling Europe. If you get one Danish book, get this one-- and buy some others from the set. Say it in Japanese, Say it In Norwegian, Say It in German, Turkish, Arabic, French... the list is comprehensive. All the books follow the same excellent model. I totally disagree with the reviewer who hated the phonetic symbols. What's so hard about the shwah (backwards e), long a, short a, etc.? Any high-school grad should understand these symbols. It's the ONLY way to communicate pronunciation clearly. That's why dictionaries use it. Can you understand the dictionary? However, her recommendation of the other tapes was helpful... maybe I should check those out!

Contains some very useful information, but far too many spelling mistakes. I have used much better "Teach Yourself" and phrase books.
