Summary: The best dictionary by far
Review: This Arabic-English dictionary is the best...and totally indispensable. I don't know how you could get by without it. It has been recommended by our professor and i thank him for that. No matter what level of Arabic you're at,you need this dictionary!

Summary: The best
Review: This is *the* reference to written arabic. All of the words are accented so it really helps beginner's pronunciation (like me). The fine hardcover binding is worth the price.

Summary: Throw your Oxford in the trash!
Review: This is the best English - Arabic out today! This is a great tool for students of all levels. I am an advanced student who religiously uses Hans Weir (3-letter root), and this is a great supplement. It has more words than the Oxford dictionary and the definitions are CLOSER TO THE PRECISE MEANING! Added plus: If you decide to use the Arabic - English portion, it has the words classified by how they are spelled, and not by the root. So if you come across a word and can't figure out its root, not to fear... Al Marwid will save the day!
