Might come in handy in case you need help in a foreign country; phrasebook helps you to say things like: 'Where is the toilet?', 'Police!', 'Fire!' etc. in 25 languages. The book also gives some general information about those languages: related languages, dialects, grammar and pronunciation. Book is too basic to help you have real in depth conversations in those languages. In the last chapter (Hindi) the sections are in the wrong order. The transition between the last but one chapter (Thai) and last chapter is not clearly marked. Despite these drawbacks still handy to take with you on travel abroad; it doesn't weight anything and it's for free, so you might as well take it with you, just in case you need it.
