Berlitz English/German phrase book/dictionary + CD - By: Mr. R. Forbes, 15 Sep 2004
The book :
very good & very useful, divided into sections depending on where you might need to use your German e.g. hotel, restaurant, airport etc with an English/German, German/English dictionary at the back.

The CD :
Mmmmmm organisedin a similar way. The German speech was fine & clear unfortunately I didn't realise I would have to learn American to understand the English.
The 'English' is spokenin an irritating American drawl type accent instead of using a more neutral mid atlantic accent & uses expressions such as Leeessshure which I think means Leisure & also 'where is the down town area' which is not English. The German gave me a clue 'wo is der inner stadt' ahhhh you mean the town centre then! The rest of the CD is ok & certainly helped mein Berlin so long as you can put up with the Yank asking for the nearest fast-food restaurant!
