 Practical Small Book September 4, 2005
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I am currently learning Turkish, and I have bought various reading material. This book is very practical as it is essentially a travel dictionary with a helpful set of phrases and sentences suitable for people who travel to Turkey or other regions that speak Turkish.
I was going to give this 5 stars because it's a very compacted book with lots of good information. I eventually gave it just 4 stars because it's not exactly a complete dictionary, and I feel that it shouldn't have titled itself that way because it can be somewhat misleading; at least that's how I felt. It is more of a travel dictionary.
Bottom line:
This is a reference book, and might I add a very helpful one for those who want all the basics summed up nicely in addition with every day words and conversation phrases yet doesn't want that much learning per say. However, it is not a real dictionary so if you are looking for a solid Turkish-English, English-Turkish dictionary, might I suggest the Redhouse dictionary series (made in Turkey), which I also bought. If you intend to really teach yourself, this book will not suffice.
 Excellent Little Book April 4, 2004
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
This is an excellent little book with a succinct and interesting summary of Turkish grammar (no exercises, just a complete review of the basics). It has an extremely useful bi-lingual dictionary of common everyday words and terms (some of which I found more easily here as opposed to in a larger Turkish dictionary). The last half of the book consists of a Turkish Phrasebook divided into topics of interest for quick reference, such as Professions, Family Matters, Directions, Sightseeing, Weather, etc.
