It's okay but too big to be called a "pocket" phrasebook. It might fit in a large coat pocket, being slightly narrower than A5, but more like handbag size. The sections feel a bit old- fashioned the way they are organised but I guess they'll take some getting used to. For example , I couldn't find how to say "I need to charge my phone" or "what us the WiFi passkey". Not as good as an old Berlitz one I lost but better than nothing.
