Good for reading, not speaking I bought this product for a business trip to Germany. I had never even been to Europe before, and I thought that having a dictionary would be a good idea. While this product is excellent for helping read menus and signs, it lacks when it comes to pronouncing the words. For example, I looked up the word "check" so that I could ask for my bill in a restaurant. Using my dictionary, I found that the word is "rechnung". Having never had a German lesson, I had no idea how to say this word. So I looked it up on the German side to see how to pronounce, however the pronounciation uses German symbols which I . Douglas P. Murphy said Good For Carrying Around. This small pocket sized dictionary does have a lot of words you can reference and it does fit in your pocket (a large pocket because it is somewhat thick). One could carry this around as you would walk through a German city for example to look up basic phrases and words. However, for more complex language needs such as reading magazines and books you are going to need a larger dictionary, and I found it totally inadequate for these latter needs. However, it is practically impossible to have both capacities built into one book, and thus I think this one does a good job for what it is.
