Guide Review - Eastern European Phrase Book

This book is great for a gift, as a novelty item, or to accompany you on your next trip to Eastern Europe. Phrases and pronunciation of words in Albanian, Bulgarian, Croation, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Ltvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, and Slovenian are included in this 4 by 6, 200-page volume. Hardly comprehensive, it's a good tool for language-learners to solidify their basic skills while abroad or to jog their memories while searching for general terms to describe everyday items.
