An easy to follow and comprehensive guide with all the pertinent phrases. Sound script pronunciations are accurate easy to understand and the dictionary is concise with a broad vocabulary. The books 'pocket' size is very convenient and I have never had a drama conjuring phases with this book. Highly recommended.
