Oxford Greek English Learner's Dictionary

Summary: True to Greek and English. By far the best available.
Review: If you could pick out the appropriate lexical item out of an out-of-context list offered next to a dictionary entry you wouldn't be learning the language, you'd be speaking it! Stavropoulos was well aware of that...

Summary: Not what I expected (buyer beware)
Review: It may well be a good book -- but it wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted a book that would work both ways (looking up English to Greek primarily, and also going from Greek to English). This is Greek to English ONLY. So if you don't know much Greek... this book is essentially useless to you.

Summary: Review by Ken Fassman is misleading.
Review: Please note that this book is clearly titled as being a Greek-English dictionary, which means that you'll only find Greek words translated into English. This allows more Greek words to be listed. If you want a dictionary that works both ways, then you'll need to obtain a Greek-English/English-Greek dictionary, also referred to sometimes as English-Greek-English. There are also English-Greek dictionaries, which only translate English words into Greek...Well, you get the idea.

This particular resource is exactly what it says it is, and it's one of the best. I'm actually purchasing a second copy for a friend.

Summary: By far the best Greek-English dictionary of its kind!
Review: This dictionary is a students dream in learning the greek language. It contains the most accurate vocabulary of modern greek and it also includes words not found in other greek dictionaries. It has both the modern spoken greek and dialect and slang words used in Greece today. Being of Greek decent myself, this lexicon is by far the best dictionary of its kind, hands down. It's accuracy in definitions of the greek text is on the money and woiuld help any student of greek excel in conversational as well as grammatical context. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to master the Greek language.
