Nice, small size made this easy to carry around, and it really helped when we were in areas where no English-speaking souls were to be found. Just being able to point to the Korean word for "bathroom" or "bus station" did wonders. Even if I had learned these words beforehand (as was my intention), I think I would have still needed this book, as I could never get the pronunciation quite right. It should maybe come with a set of reading glasses, though, as the font is a bit small for elderly Koreans to read.

Obviously I need this quite badly. Time to start cramming! I do love how it is organized so succinctly into logical categories. This will be incredibly helpful.
