This new edition from the Oxford Minidictionaries series offers up-to-date coverage of essential day-to-day vocabulary with over 40,000 words and phrases, and 60,000 translations. The new phrasefinder feature provides an instant safety net when you travel, providing super fast access to all the words and expressions you need for everyday situations--shopping, traveling, asking for directions, or finding a place to stay. A brand-new menu-reader section has been added so you know exactly what you're getting to eat, and the new conversion charts for distance, weights and measures, and clothing and shoe sizes make traveling abroad easier than ever before. Also new to this edition is a quick quick reference guide providing tips on pronunciation and extra help with the Greek alphabet. All of these features are packed into a pocket-sized, durable format with a hard-wearing vinyl cover, making these dictionaries ideal for business people, holiday makers, and travelers, and students. An Oxford Minidictionary is your perfect mini-guide to understanding a foreign language.
I have a large Greek dictionary (National Textbook Company) for reference use, though I purchased this Greek dictionary for my trip to Greece as I needed a portable dictionary. My level of Greek language proficiency is moderate (I am able to converse in very simple conversations). I spent the past 3 weeks in Greece visiting islands and family, and this dictionary was extremely helpful. I highly recommend it if you want a very small and very complete Greek dictionary. Positives: 1) It is very small and light (i.e. portable), so I could carry it around in my backpack easily. 2) Very complete. I found practically every word I searched for, and I may use it for routine reference use as well. Negatives: 1) None really. The next best thing would be a detailed electronic dictionary (on a Pocket PC) that I could carry anywhere.
