4.0 out of 5 stars A really useful little phrasebook, 19 Jan 2004
Lonely Planet's phrasebook is probably the best of the small number available for this language. As well as a good variety of words and phrases, there are some little snippets of information about Poland itself which, although by no means making you an expert on the country, help to liven up the book and put some of the language into context.

Polish is a fiendishly difficult language and any small phrasebook will be limited as to how much help it can give you, but this one isn't a bad bet - I used it a few times when I was in Poland and found it pretty helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best phrasebook I have ever used, 6 Jan 2007
By J. S. Hardman "Consultant software developer ... (Near London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I worked through a number of CD-based Polish courses and had a few group lessons before travelling to Poland. However, when travelling within Poland what I carried with me was the Lonely Planet Polish Phrasebook. Without a doubt it turned out to be the best phrasebook I have ever used. In particular, the menu decoder and food-related section were incredibly useful. Pretty much everything that we ate during our travels was in the phrasebook.

Also useful in the book are the printed, phonetic forms of most of the phrases in the book. It obviously helps to have an idea about the sound of Polish already, but with the basics of pronunciation these phonetic forms are very handy indeed.

Inevitably, there will be phrases that you need when travelling that are not in whichever phrasebook you carry, but the Lonely Planet Polish Phrasebook contained far, far more than I expected.

The book does not give enough detail of grammatical cases to get your grammar perfect when adjusting phrases yourself, but you will certainly be understood in conversation when using this book.
