 Not enough words Jan 30, 2010
I bought this dictionary because we are hosting 2 Nepali refugees. I needed something to help us communicate with them, the concept of this phrasebook is great, but it is just too small. It does not have enough words to use on the day to day basis.
good survey of words, but nothing new Oct 18, 2009
There's nothing here that you can't get in a more comprehensive phrasebook and guide combo. I took this to Nepal on a 31-day trip, and I checked it twice while bored and waiting.
 Nepali-English Dictionary and Phrasebook Jun 12, 2008
Book is concise and well organized. Solved my immediate translation problems. it is a good companion to the Teach yourself course.
the dictionary is helpful Jan 20, 2008
and this is a good book.
But I wish it would give a solid elementary grammar lesson instead of skipping around like these language books do.
Nepali language books are few in number.

uses transliteration but NOT devanagari Apr 01, 2007
There are two ways to represent Nepali words. first you can write them in Devanagari, which would require that you learn to read Devanagari ( the Sanskrit-based alphabet which they use) or you can use the closest-equivalent transliterated word using the English alphabet. this one just uses the transliteration. If you are serious about stuying Nepali, you would benefit more by getting the Devanagari version ALONG WITH the transliteration - I hope they do this for future editions....
