Portuguese (Eyewitness Travel Packs)

Summary: Just fine, if you want to talk and never listen
Review: I don't know who edited or compiled this book, but they've obviously never traveled in a foreign country. It's a piece of junk.

I bought this book for my trip to Beira, Mozambique, where the primary language is Portuguese.

This book is great if you're an English speaker & you want to say something and look up the right portuguese words.

But it's impossible to listen to a word and look it up to find out what it means.

What use is a language if you can speak but you can't listen to what anyone says back to you? Last I checked, most of us have two ears and one mouth.
