Perfect for the exchange student
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this dictionary before leaving for my year as an exchange student in Brasil, and it was perfect for every use i had intended to use it for. Seeing as it is so small, (can fit in pretty much any purse) I needed another dictionary to supplement while reading novels, attending difficult classes or even watching the news. However, I found that the most frequently used words in everyday conversations were included and translated accurately, excluding most slang. It is great in social situations where other resources are not available, and it's virtually indestructible nature is a sure plus. It is nottt a phrasebook - it is a great dictionary with all that you can expect from one of its size.
langenscheidt titles great for carrying around
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
In addition to having this great indestructible little plastic cover (the actual binding front and back) on this dictionary, it has just the right size to carry around with you wherever you go. It has practically every word you need as a traveler for a short visit to a foreign country. I would use something bigger or more substantial for a dictionary if I were working at a desk, but running around on a foreign vacation these dictionaries are great ...mine is portugese english but I know they have them for most other languages as well. The definitions are not long or wide ranging but the context is what you the speaker need to add to the equation in figuring which definition is correct for the phrase you're looking at. This dictionary is the way to go for a traveler.
