Rating: Summary: Handy--even for fully bilingual people. Review: I agree with everyone else...this dictionary is complete and concise. I am a comparative literature major and this dictionary helps a lot when I have to translate passages on my papers, and when I am trying to get around those distinct words in either English or Spanish which do not have an exact equivalent. So there you go, I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: Not impressed Review: I am a spanish major and my parents bought me this dictionary. I have never seen such a complete dictionary! Not once in the past 3 years that I have had it, have I not been able to find the word I was looking for. Plus the entries are easy to understand. There are not a bunch of complicated symbols preceeding each word. It is great for beginners and even for more advanced students. I highly recommend it!
Rating: Summary: it's Everything Review: I am a spanish major and my parents bought me this dictionary. I have never seen such a complete dictionary! Not once in the past 3 years that I have had it, have I not been able to find the word I was looking for. Plus the entries are easy to understand. There are not a bunch of complicated symbols preceeding each word. It is great for beginners and even for more advanced students. I highly recommend it!
Rating: Summary: Vox New College Spanish-English Dictionary Review: I am very disappointed in this dictionary. It is large and has a lot of words, but it is frustrating for two reasons. First, when you look up a noun in English, it tells you the Spanish translation but does not tell you whether it's masculine or feminine. For instance, it tells you poster is "cartel," but you have to turn to the Spanish section to find out it's "el cartel." Second, the phrases and translations are awkward. Although this is a vulgar example, it's important: when you look up "pedo," it tells you the English translation is "wind from the anus." Who in English has ever said this? Look it up in Larousse, and as it should, it says "fart." I'm afraid to trust the expressions in the middle because I'm afraid I'll end up sounding ridiculous in Spanish the way a Spanish-speaker would sound ridiculous in English if he or she walked around saying "wind from the anus" and "go over like a lead balloon," which is the outdated expression they give as a translation for "caer mal." Overall, I'm going to stick with Larousse, which seems a lot more trustworthy to me.
Rating: Summary: Not impressed Review: I followed everyone's advice and bought this dictionary only to take it home and realize that it did not contain the two words I was looking for. I recommend checking out a couple of dictionaries before purchasing.
Rating: Summary: Most complete eng-span dictionary I've seen. Review: I've used this dictionary now for a few years to learn new vocab and even some verb conjugations, and even with medical jargon (I'm a med student), the book rarely fails to deliver.
Rating: Summary: I strongly recomended to everyone! Review: This dictionary is very good and I have used it for many years. I have yet to come across a word that I wasn't able to find. I love the middle section that gives you tons of expressions in one language and gives you the equivalent in the other.
