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"!
