Summary: Great dictionary!
Review: This is the best dictionary for swahili I've seen. It's readily available and has english to swahili, swahili to english. I've made the mistake in the past to buy dictionaries that only had swahili to english or vice versa. It's a good buy. It has many words. Unless you go to East Africa or some hidden away used bookstore, this is the best dictionary for a beginner to buy.

Summary: A must-have for the traveling physician or medical student
Review: This small dictionary and phrase book fits easily into your lab coat pocket and will prove to be infinately helpful for physicians and students traveling among Swahili speaking populations. There is a small but comprehensive medical section in the back that outlines body parts and useful questions like, "are you having diarrhea".

Summary: Practical indeed, and very handy!
Review: This Swahili-English / English-Swahili pocket dictionary is very handy. Its 596 pages cover over 35,000 entries in both languages. The English words have the phonetic transcriptions, whereas the Swahili nouns have their plurals shown in brackets.
As it is written in the foreword, this practical dictionary proves to be "an aid in navigating the growing global vocabulary of politics, telecommunications, computers, the Internet, tourism, business and travel."
At the end of the book there are some useful pages on English irregular verbs (infinitive Swahili verbs are given in brackets), Swahili noun classes, useful phrases and vocabulary, cardinal numbers, ordinal numbers, weighs and measures, time, days of the week, months, star signs.
