Thanks for pointing that out.  That German phrasebook series is quite 
impressive.  It has always been my impression that Germans expect more from 
phrasebooks than English-speakers do. No funny pronunciation aids of the "voo-
lay voo coo-shay ah-vehk mwah" type: learn the spelling or IPA!; no promises of 
no grammar: here is the grammar you need.  I have not seen the Lakota and 
Nahuatl ones, but have read the Guarani and Quechua ones, and they are 
quite "gut"!
