The major criticism I have is the rather curious and confusing proprietary pronunciation and romanization system that Berlitz uses.
The pronunciation section on pages 7 and 8 does not cover the double consonants and double vowels that are common in the language and appear in the rest of the book.
The major problem with this Korean phrase book, is that it does not show any accent marks for the words it lists.

It is also ok to not put accents on words in Korean and maintain a steady intonation.
This book, however, was a more pointed example of another Berlitz book trait: Most of the time, the Korean folks I met had a puzzled look on their face, not because of the (horrible) accent, but because of the archaic and stilted Korean this book translated my phrases into.
