Excellent Book (5/5 people found this helpful)
This is a great book once you are beyond the initial stages of learning German. Plenty of examples to show how a word is used in practice.
The best English-German / German-English dictionary out there (21/21 people found this helpful)
This dictionary is, simply put, superb. It covers a staggering range of words and compounds, it gives really thorough information about the grammar of most words listed (such as collocations, prepositions that go with verbs or adjetives and so on) so it is really what any learner who is beyond the beginner stage will need.
Also, a lot of examples are given, with the most usual idioms, sentences, etc.
Finally, the layout and the use of the blue colour are useful, and it seems to help somehow look for headwords more quickly.
I can't but recommend this dictionary to anyone learning German; dictionaries, particularly this large, are a must for people wishing to learn a language in a serious way, because not only do they give information about the translation of a particular word, but also how different phrases or sentences are translated, and how a word that goes in a particular sentence in English may not be translated with its usual translation in the quivalent sentence in German.
This dictionary, I must insist, fulfils all of these needs, and the price is OK for a dictionary of this kind and quality.
Thorough and comprehensive (80/80 people found this helpful)
This dictionary is the product of a collaboration between two extremely eminent publishers, and combines the best of each. Quite simply, it sets the standard that other English-German dictionaries will wish to follow.
As well as the usual contents of a dictionary, it also contains useful charts on the political structures of English and German speaking nations, as well as sample letters. Furthermore, it incorporates the recent changes to the German alphabet, whilst still providing the 'old' traditional German format.
The dictionary is easy to follow and extremely thorough, and would be beneficial to students and professionals alike.
