An essential pocket companion to the Czech Republic

This is one book to take with you if you are visiting the Czech Republic and don't speak the language. The introductory material is a great guide to pronunciation and grammar. The major part of the book is an English-Czech, Czech-English phrasebook and dictionary in alphabetic order which is excellent. Pronunciation guides follow most words and are well done. Dialogues and Feature Boxes throughout this section are wonderful. I didn't get fluent enough to make much use of the dialogues, but the Feature Boxes were a great help in understanding an unfamiliar culture. I went through the book reading them all to get a quick overview of Czech customs and found it extremely helpful. There is also a large Menu Reader in the back to help with eating out. Don't leave for Prague without it.
