 Excellent for those looking for the basics. June 4, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I picked up this book on a whim, since I speak Turkish and wanted to learn Azerbaijani. I was pleasantly surprised to find not only words and phrases, but introductions to the alphabet, fairly thorough grammar, and loads of useful and very usable words and phrases. Awde is a great linguist, as well, I have picked up several excellent books by him on many subjects an find his work to be very reliable. I highly recommend this book.

This dictionary is primarily for tourists. It was not designed for language study. If you're trying to converse or translate, it is a poor tool. Although it attempts to use latin script, some letters are substituted which makes deciphering a bit slow until you get used to it. If you find yourself in Baku you might be able to survive with this dictionary in your pocket.
A decent phrase book, but no more. November 10, 2006

I spoke Azeri relatively well once and decided to pick up this little book to revisit the language. Out of the limited amount of literature on the subject I chose this one on a hunch and it's nothing more than a phrase book for a tourist to get around. It does a good job of indroducing the most common expressions to an English speaker. Expect to find exact pronounciation of singlular words and 2-3 word phrases and expressions. Do not expect a textbook on the language :)

I don't like the choice of transcriptions for some of the Azerbaijani characters. But that aside, if you're going to travel to Azerbaijan for a visit and you want a few local phrases, then you'll find them in this book. Good for the visitor, but not for anyone seriously wanting to learn the language.
