5-0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best
I have used this dictionary for 15 years, and it has never let me down. What amazes me is that it is so versatile. A word would have to be pretty obscure (medieval, ecclesiastical) to not be in here. Unbeatable.

4-0 out of 5 stars Libellus Parvus, Libellus Potens
The Bantam New College Latin & English Dictionary provides a lot of Latin for little money.Bantam's is compact, easy to use, and gives a nice reference guide for nouns, verbs, and adjectives in the beginning.Tolle legeque, amice!Vale.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best darn Latin dictionary on the market
I just wanted to add another vote of confidence for this marvelous dictionary.I got through 4 years of college Latin with it, and almost never failed to find the word I was looking for.I particularly appreciate the idiomatic expressions highlighted in bold typeface, to make it easy to skim down the definition to find the one you're looking for.Its only downfall is that, as a paperback, it begins to get a bit well-thumbed, leading the serious Latinist to think, a little wistfully, that it would be nice if it came in a hardbound edition.But for a mere six bucks, you can easily afford to buy a replacement.Personally, I own two. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars The Best I've Ever Seen
I studied linguistics in college and have studied and learned several languages to fluency. This is the best grammar review text I have ever used. It's straight forward, comprehensive, well laid out and unusually readable. The use of green ink to illustrate examples and highlight what's important is especially effective. I wish it were part of a series that included similar texts for French, Russian and Italian.

5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book--if used correctly!
This is really a good litte book, and thoroughly covers all aspects of grammer, some in clearer ways than my elementary German book.I used this book for my Intermediate German class in college, and found it dull and repetitive in the way we used it.We went way too slow, and some of the exercises get incredibly dull and repetitive if you do all of them.
5-0 out of 5 stars Clear, Straightforward, and Priceless for Study
I am currently attending 1-on-1 German language training with a native-speaking instructor prior to a Government assignment in Germany.I studied German in high school and college and (thank goodness) saved all of my textbooks.I dug around in my garage a few weeks ago and found the 2nd edition of "German in Review," published in 1986, that I used in my college courses.I have not put the book down since.Even my current instructor is pleased with the layout and structure of the textbook and the clarity of discussion.This is the bedrock text for understanding German grammar. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars No passive learning in your car
This is a very thorough course - goes well beyond a phrasebook, and the CD is only worthwhile if you read along and do the exercises. So, no passive learning by listening over and over on your commute.
5-0 out of 5 stars Can't Lose
At this price?You will speaking Swahili after soaking in this whole book.All you need after this book is the CD (so you can hear), and a dictionary to extend your vocabulary.The only fault I have is that some words in the English half of the book's dictionary aren't found in the Swahili side, and vice versa.But, this is an EXCELLENT beginners course.An excellent value.The structure of the language is well spelled out.

5-0 out of 5 stars extremely helpful dictionary
This is an extremely useful dictionary for an English as Second Language learner like me that has okay vocabulary and speaking ability but often doesn't know exactly how to express myself under some contexts.The dictionary cover mundane topics like "placing a telephone order for pizza", but I don't see that as drawbacks.Quite on the contrary, the book becomes so useful right because the topics and approriate expressions are very handy and can be applied everyday!

3-0 out of 5 stars not really
i found this book honestly not very useful, i mean, the context, and the purpose of this book is not clear, if they were trying to teach us how to speak in some basic places, they had to teach by writing a vocabulary list for each situation, not sentences, you can't apply them everytime in a daily life, but some works, i'm okay with that,but generally i perefer a vocabulary builder for that,...

5-0 out of 5 stars Good tool for increasing your spoken expressions!
I found this book very useful for someone who wants to increase his conversational skills in a short period. You can find lots of expressions organized by topic. It is helpful in the sense that there are words with which you were acquainted at some point, and this book serves to refresh your memory of some forgotten expressions. It's just like entering data to your brain. This book is not intended to entertain you; it is rather in the form of a dictionary, and reading a dictionary is no fun. But if your ultimate goal is to broaden your expressions, this book is an excellent tool. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Good
This book really makes you UNDERSTAND the new words you're learning. It's not just about memorization, thank god!

5-0 out of 5 stars Best Vocabulary Book Ever
Though there are many books for enhancing vocabulary, this book by Norman Lewis is THE BEST.I used this book in high school over 20 years ago and recently purchased it to help tutor my 8th grade daughter. In flipping through the pages, I discovered that I actually remember nearly all of these words due to the ingenious, but simple format used by Norman Lewis. This elegant format is grouping words that have similar meanings together. For example, there are chapters on medical professionals, personality types, types of prevarication, insults, and words of praise. By learning words in semantically related groups, they store together in your memory.Studying words with similar meanings together also fosters an appreciation of the nuances of difference. It's a fantastic way to learn vocabulary that you'll retain.You can skip the earlier book, 30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary by Wilfred Funk & Norman Lewis.The earlier book has a similar format, but fewer words, shorter definitions, and a less engaging layout.
5-0 out of 5 stars Great Learning Experience
I'm skeptical of books like this. My view on expanding vocabulary is to simply read a lot and if you see a word you don't understand, then look it up. Magically, you now know what that word means. But this book surprised me, though I didn't initially realize it until much, much later, well after finishing the book and all the numerous exercises.

4-0 out of 5 stars Best Thai - English dictionary
This dictionary wonderful for everyday use or as a reference when studying Thai.I have had this this dictionary and another Thai - English dictionary for about two years.At first, I did not like this dictionary because the Phonetic Thai that is used is difficult to understand.After, I got use to that Phonetic Thai, I found out it is the best system invented (thus far) for romanizing the Thai language.
2-0 out of 5 stars In-complete Thai Dictionary
Lots of everyday words where missing. Frustrating when you are looking at a dictionary, one just expects it to be there. 50% of the time the word I was looking for wasn't in the dictionary. Granted that some words may not translate, not that many though surely.
5-0 out of 5 stars Thai-English/English-Thai Dictionary
The beginning has very useful information to decipher this difficult language (vocabaluary, how to write the letters, what the different fonts look like).Then there is a large section for English-Thai (the Thai script is small, so you need a magnifiying glass for it), then a section of English written Thai - Thai script (very good but you have to learn how to write the English equivalent of Thai sounds).Third section is Thai script to English.I have many Thai books and dictionaries, but this one is the most requested by my friends learning Thai. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars The ultimate dictionary
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary has every word imaginable in it. We have one in our sixth-grade classroom, and we often use it to look up words that aren't in our personal pocket dictionaries.
4-0 out of 5 stars Unabridged Dictionary
This replaced a 1986 version, and it was nice to have the "new words" section, although I wished those words had been incorporated into the main dictionary. Short of ordering the entire OED I guess this will suffice. I have tried some of the electronic dictionaries and they just do not compete with the real thing.

2-0 out of 5 stars Complex & Confusing
I bought the wrong book. This book was too complex and confusing.

5-0 out of 5 stars Not a true bilingual dictionary, but excellent nonetheless
I just have to clarify some aspects of this book. Since it has been designed to help people whose mother tongue is Hindi learn English, it does not translate all the words directly from English to Hindi. However, often there are rather explanations of the English terms provided in Hindi, while some words do not have the requisite English-to-Hindi translation (one word to one word) one would expect from such a dictionary. Further more, the words which are directly translated, do NOT contain the crucial information on their grammatical gender in Hindi (again, it is clearly not a bilingual dictionary and not a "companion" to the Hindi-English dictionary by R.S. McGregor). Still, the book has helped me a lot in learning Hindi's written language.
5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent for a serious learner.
This dictionary uses the Hindi script exclusively for Hindi writing. I suspect that the dictionary is aimed at Hindi speakers for whom english is a second language.There is actually little english in the dictionary other than the words and their corresponding examples.

For the maps alone, this book is worth it. Following 1,250 pages that describe and explain the people, places, terms, and events of the Bible from Aaron to Zurishaddai, the 16 spectacular maps detail the political entities and boundaries of biblical times, bringing the historic times to vivid life. A fascinating book, an impressive collection of scholarship, and a possession to cherish, the 188 contributors and five editors show what can be produced if you don't cut corners on excellence. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Good place to start
I am a native speaker trying to teach my hubby a few words for our trip to Brazil.I found the book very easy to use.Most nights he practiced by himself and I reviewed the material.He was able to get pretty good pronunciation using the books guidelines, but emphasis was harder.It think this is true anytime you are studying language through a book.The stickers were fun to use, we did label items around the house.After getting this book down we moved on to a CD ROM package which has been useful as well.My husband felt that the book did not do a very good job with teaching tenses and conjugating words.This is true, the books aim was to teach you useful phrases and words, you would still be limited in your ability to understand a native speakers anwers to your questions.However, after only one month he definitelty learned quite a bit.Even though I am fluent it is easier to work from a program, as learning from me is hit or miss, this way we have the basics covered.
5-0 out of 5 stars Great product
I enjoyed this book a lot. It is a great way for a beginner to pick up the basic words and phrases needed to communicate in Portuguese. When you actually follow the directions and spend the 10 minutes a day, you really pick up the language quickly! I like the way the book is written and found it easy to follow and understand. Great way to learn!

3-0 out of 5 stars Trying to Learn
This is a wonderful book if you are going to be in Brazil for a very short time. It is also a good beginner book. Unfortunately the pronunciations (esp at the end of words) is hard to understand. My husband is from Brazil and we will be going there soon. He had to correct me the majority of the time when I was pronouncing the words how this book has outlined how they should be pronounced. Overall it is a nice book but you might want need a tutor as well to get the sounds right.If you are going to be staying in Brazil for a longer time you will need a better book for sure. ...

This mini dictionary is easily placed in a backpack, satchel, or briefcase and is a handy reference for those times when you are not so sure of spelling or usage.I love it!

3-0 out of 5 stars Merriam-Webster's Pocket Dictionary
Useful pocket dictionary, but why no "Foreign Words and Phrases" ? I and my family have been greatly indebted to the Merriam-Webster's Pocket Dictionary from the 1940s where the classy Latin section at the end of the dictionary serves to remind one of how rich human language can become if we are occasionally prepared to appropriate the elusive mot juste from a foreign language ! Also, it would be more enriching than a section of Abbreviations that are, after all, only a part of our culture's ephemera and not as lasting or deep-rooted as our reliance on Latinisms. That is the most obvious omission from the newer editions and I hope that it doesn't start a trend.

5-0 out of 5 stars good choice

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the better small Spanish-English dictionaries
My Master's thesis was a review and rating of Spanish-English dictionaries. I find this dictionary, like all the other Larousse dictionaries, to be a good choice.
4-0 out of 5 stars Very good beginner dictionary, but I don't see 45,000 translations
This dictionary is really good for beginners.I agree with all the comments in the reviews posted by others about the usefulness of this dictionary, its layout, its print size and spacing, the use of words in a phrase or sentence, etc.
4-0 out of 5 stars Larousse Student Dictionary Spanish-English/English Spanish
This is a great reference book. The words are highlighted so they are easy to find and the print is large enough for easy reading. The picture section in the middle gives great visual support for the words being illustrated. The sample sentences given for each word really help with the understanding of the word. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Loaded with errors.
I am suprised at some of the reviewers that gave this program good reviews. The text is loaded with errors and for the beginner, this is a real disservice. If you buy this program, be prepared to be confused when some words and phrases are written several different ways.

4-0 out of 5 stars I like it
I studied MSA arabic sometime back and then changed my strategy to learning spoken eastern arabic. Part of that decision was based on the fact that I wanted not just to be understood, but to understand what was said to me. If you go to an arab country and speak MSA they will understand you and answer in the local dialect, then you wont understand them. (see the problem). So It was a nice suprise to have a book that taught you MSA and gave a good intro to several regional dialects in the M.E.

1-0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
I was very disappointed with the product, because I had different expectations, based on the advertisement of it.It was utterly different from what I thought it would be, and now it's no use for me. The four cds it has, are in four different dialects of the arabic language, so, only one is useful, since you can not use all four of them in your conversations, and the other four cds are only in the formal arabic language which is used only in writing.

1-0 out of 5 stars Poorly Made
Although many people use this dictionary for their classes, I have noticed that they do no spend enough time to update the dictionary.There are many current words that are not in, like blog. However, the most unappeling thing is that their books as poorly make.They one section of the dictionary in one font, and oter sections in another, it looke like they just put pieces together.
4-0 out of 5 stars Varying Dialects
It is quite complete with all the verb forms, comjugations and tenses that we learned in High School. But, because of the varying dialects, there were a few words I could not find. Living in the Southwest, the Mexican influence over the Spanish is marked. For instance the word 'estraner'or 'te estrano', for "I Miss You"is not in this dictionary which made it a disappointment for me.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great for basic levels
I've had this dictionary for about eight years.I would have to say that if you are in the basic levels of learning spanish or maybe reading a simple novel in spanish, this would be your best bet.It is easy to use and easy to read although a little bulky.The only complaint that I have about it is that as I began reading more difficult novels and encountering words that are less common, this dictionary did not come into as great a use as it has in years past.But, like I said if you are doing beginning or intermediate levels of spanish, this would probably be your best bet. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars Languae Learning is a PROCESS
The problem with any "book" of language learning is that it over looks a very import distinction between language acquisition and language learning. There is a difference and it is not too difficult concept.
5-0 out of 5 stars One of My Best Kept Secrets to Learning Spanish
With respect to my qualifications, I am the founder of Learning Spanish Like Crazy, and the author of several articles on the topic of How to Learn Spanish. And I have also purchased nearly every Learning-Spanish course and book sold on the market. And now for my review of this book. . .
5-0 out of 5 stars The course tailord to one's needs
The book proves that it is posible to benefit from a highly practical course without leaving the house or paying for classes. The topics reflect subjects students usually ask for: hotel, restaurant, airport. Grammar is presented clearly and in the context, it's like having class with a native speaker. I strongly recomend Practical Spanish Grammar. ... Read more
