Travel Czech

By Dutertre - March 6, 2006

This book includes a Czech-English and English-Czech dictionary, as well as a basic grammar section and even a short history of the Czech Republic. After looking at several Czech dictionaries, this is the one that I've found to be easiest to use and is best suited for a tourist or casual student of the language.

Not possible to use as a primary dictionary

By Dana - September 24, 2010

I was always impressed by the build-in dictionaries in Kindle. The function works wonderfully with English-French or English-German dictionaries. Unfortunately, this Czech dictionary is completely useless. I am disapointed that Amazon does not specify which dictionary works as a build-in one and which not.

Good guide for a traveller

If you make a trip to the Czech republic and want to understand a few words, while you are in the airport, restaurant, city centre etc. then this book is appropriate for you. It provides a brief list with the most common words you will need, when staying in Czech republic for a few days. But remember! Only the most common. If you need something more detailed, you have to look for an appropriate dictionaty.
