If you want something small and functional to take with you to Europe this is a great phrase book.
A good tool for crossing multiple borders

The "Berlitz European Phrase Book" is a good tool for the traveler that will spend just a little time in several European countries. This edition covers: Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish. You are not going to find the depth of material you would in another single language book (I recommend the Lonely Planet phrase books as my first choice). You will find the basics compiled in a single format. Once you learn how to use one, it is easy to find the same items in the other languages. It is also the same if you happen to pick up Berlitz's's Eastern European book as well. There is not room for a dictionary and the pronunciation guides are at the back of each section. I'm sure Berlitz felt the main reason you would buy this was for the instant use phrases. If you want more than this, be sure to purchase individual books for each language. If you are doing a tour, or only spending a few days here and there, you will be fine with this multiple-language version for basic phrases and words.
