I have four Spanish-English dictionaries, and I use this one more than all the others put together. This is my first "go to" dictionary. It has all the information that I need 97% of the time. Not only does it have the needed definitions; it also has helpful usage examples and idiomatic uses for many of the entries. In addition it has conjugation models for regular and irregular verbs--something missing from most small pocket dictionaries. This is a true pocket dictionary, small enough to fit in my shirt pocket (unlike some fat volumes marketed as "pocket" dictionaries). And this volume is beautifully made: good quality paper; print that is sharp and small but not too small; and it comes inside a rugged soft-plastic slip cover. The cover says "28,000 words and phrases--the everyday vocabulary you really need." And that is true! You don't really need a big 70,000+ word dictionary for most purposes. And finding the word you need is much faster with a smaller dictionary, with fewer pages and fewer entries to search through. I wish I had had this dictionary during my trip to Peru; the pocket dictionary that I used then did not have the helpful usage examples and idioms and conjugations that this Webster's pocket dictionary has. I now have two copies of this little volume, one for my reading chair and one to carry in my briefcase or jacket pocket. Very highly recommended!
I went to the book store and was looking at various pocket Eng/Span dictionaries. I was coming in to find the Collins Gem Eng/Span Pocket Dictionary (http://www..com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0007126255/qid=1125020300/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-8183170-6626205?v=glance&s=books&n=507846).When they didn't have it anymore, I was comparing different pocket dictionaries. I looked at the Oxford and the Vox pocket dictionaries. Then this book caught my eye. The mains reason I really like this book is because, like the previous person mentioned, it is made with quality (good paper, great text size and font, and a VERY nice flexible soft cover for the book).But the main reason I like this book is because this CAN actually go into my pocket without it bulging and others obviously seeing there's a book in my pocket. The rest of the pocket dictionaries out there (Oxford, Vox) where a bit too thick, while this dictionary is .7 inches thick, which is great for me.If you're interested in learning Spanish in a full way, don't just get this dictionary. I would recommend the dictionary I bought for Eng/Span: The HarperCollins College Eng/Span Dictionary:http://www..com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060733802/qid=1125020615/sr=8-4/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/103-8183170-6626205?v=glance&s=books&n=507846And for fully conjugating Spanish verbs, this book is by far the best one to purchase:http://www..com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0764124285/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/103-8183170-6626205?v=glance&s=books&n=507846Happy Spanish learning to you. 8-)
This was a abridged dictionary and not very useful for travel. Few food, lodging, or travel words were in it and no regional (South American variations) of words were included.This would be helpful in reading Spanish literature and magazines but was not particular valuable in daily travel.
I have a 1998 edition of this book, which I love, but I decided to get an updated version. The new dictionary still has the nice, heavy, vinyl dust jacket plus it has more pages with new words, which is nice, however, I am very disappointed in the print. The older version has nice dark print, but the newer dictionary has the translations in very light print. The word to be translated is easy to see, large and bold, however, the translation has much lighter printing than the previous edition and quite hard to see. In a pinch, I can read the original book in bright light without glasses, but this edition, no way. The print of the translated word is just very, very light. I would give the content of this dictionary 5 stars, but its readability must be factored in, too. So, for those of you without great vision, the most important part of this book might be a bit hard for you to see (even with your glasses).
The "Webster's New World Pocket Spanish Dictionary" is fine for a quick or secondary reference. However, I would not recommend it as a primary dictionary for a Spanish student. It does not include all Spanish words in all forms. In most cases the dictionary gives one meaning for each word instead of the many meanings that a Spanish phrase can stand for. Not recommended for somebody just beginning the Spanish language.
I'm an American living in Southern Spain and I'm an intermediate speaker of the Spanish language at best. This book is so handy! It is small enough that it fits well in one's pocket. Plus each English word has several Spanish translations. It is easy to use and handy to have around. It is a great investment for anyone needing un poco ayuda con Espanol.
I have a friend at work that is from Peru and although he speaks pretty good English, there were still some barriers when it came to understanding each other completely. This book was perfect for that. It fits in my back pocket, has plenty of common use words and it easy to read and reference. I've used it already many times and I have learned new Spanish words as well as my friend learning new English words by me showing him the Spanish equivalent. If you are seriously trying to learn Spanish and be fluent, I think you might need a more comprehensive book, but if you are a casual speaker like me and just want some working knowledge, this will be perfect as the price is good as well.
