The Pocket Oxford Greek Dictionary : Greek-English English-Greek

Rating:
Summary: Excellent portable dictionary
Review: I bought this dictionary last year to replace a Collins version now some 20 years old. Although a little large for the actual pocket, it is certainly small and light enough to take with you while traveling. An advantage of the medium size is that the type is not minuscule and you need not squint. After almost one year I have encountered only a handful of words not in the dictionary (mostly technical terms). The translations seem to be accurate, with the commonest synonyms listed first, the spellings are modern, demotic Greek (not katharevousa like my old Collins), the gender of nouns is given, and there is a useful 9-page table of tenses of common verbs at the back (present, aorist active, aorist passive, past particple), which is enough for me not to have to carry around a verbs book as well. I have found no inconsistencies so far in cross-checking the English-Greek against the Greek-English translations. Definitely recommended.

Summary: Concise yet complete
Review: This dictionary is fantastic. The little things are what matter in selecting a translation dictionary: the pages are white and the text is black (making it very easy to read); Each word is not only defined but put into sentences that are also translated. It has 65,000 words, more than most of the other dictionaries, it is paperback and its size lends to easy usage.

I recommend this dictionary over the others available. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: good dict.
Review: This is a decent, solid dictionary. It has some typos, as in the very first page, but it has the words I need and the greek font it mostly clear. It was a good price, and so I recomend it, although I know better are out there!

Summary: Good Basic Greek Dictionary
Review: This is a good basic Greek dictionary. I found that all the basic words were in there but it is not as complete as I had hoped due to size. If you are looking for a FULL Greek dictionary, don't get this one. If you just want all the basics this is great. It is very helpful because it translates from Greek to English AND English to Greek. Good for travelers, beginners & students.
