... and from where I sit I can see at least five, with more lurking around the house. Other reviews have covered in-depth why this dictionary is the best, but I had to add my dos centavos. Everything I've tried looking up in it has been there, including words / phrases omitted by the other dictionaries. It also includes a tremendously helpful reference section on proper correspondence (both English and Spanish). Examples are given for travel plans, personal letters, business letters, email format and addressing envelopes.I also appreciated that the dictionary is very clear as to the proper term to use in any given context. (I won't even go into my using the word "reloj" instead of "mira" when I wanted to say "Watch the sunset..." It never would have happened if I'd had this dictionary at the time.) Sample sentences are a great help. The blue entry words are a nice touch - not strictly necessary, but helpful in finding the main word for long involved definitions.The only thing that I might consider a negative point is the size - and that's only if you're looking for a travel dictionary. It's 3 inches thick and very heavy. If it's a stay-at-home / school / work book, the size is reassuring - you know anything you need will be in there, and it feels good and substantial like a dictionary should.Overall, I love this dictionary and highly recommend it. Sometimes if I'm bored, I'll even flip through and read it for fun.
This is an excellent, comprehensive dictionary. It is easy to read and it's full of illustrative examples of idiomatic usage. It also contains numerous additional resources for various purposes, e.g., formal and informal correspondence, use of the telephone, text messaging, and e-mail. It's an excellent reference tool--the next best thing to an unabridged dictionary.
When I was researching the best way to learn latin american spanish, I came across an article by someone that works in South America. He said to not buy this more expensive learning program and save your money. He outlined the best way to learn latin american spanish. This dictionary was one of the key components. It is about 3 inches thick and has everything you need to know. Keep in mind that this is only one of the key components, but a crucial one. I think that if you buy this you will be as pleased as I am. Look for my other reviews to see the other components necessary. It will save you hundreds of dollars and you will learn at a great rate of speed.
The Oxford Spanish Dictionary is a well organized, comprehensive and attractive dictionary. However, its print is very small and more importantly the print is not sufficiently contrasting to its background to be easily read by those with less than perfect vision.
What's not to love about this dictionary? It's chock full of all kinds of words. If all you have is a Bantam Spanish-English paperback dictionary or something like that you will need to supplement with a larger more complete dictionary for day-to-day use. And yes, 33$ is a lot to pay in this day and age where electronic information makes print media redundant. However, I like to have the actual book itself from time to time. And you will find it a good investment, because you will use it year after year. It has all kinds of slang and culinary references. For example: chupi = great chupin = fish stewThe English section is quite a bit larger than the Spanish section, though the Spanish section is quite large. The entry words are in blue, while the definitions are in black. Pretty easy to read. Paper quality is actually a little on the thin side, but not ridiculously so. Overall, an excellent reference work.
I am impressed. First I thought I probably don't need it because now you can find all information online, but once I got it I realized that was a right decision. I just started learning Spanish and this is my second foreign language. It help me to find any information I need. Especially usage the words. I would strongly recommend this dictionary.
This book was outstanding. It's massive, and contains almost a million words. It also has a lot of things to help with grammar, etc. This book is everything you will ever need when it comes to your Spanish vocabulary, I absolutely love it.
When the subject is language arts and the English language is involved, the source for information is Oxford University Press. This is my second Oxford Spanish/English Dictionary, replacing a 20-year-old edition that, along with my Oxford Concise English Dictionary and Fowler's Modern English Usage, has served well over the years. Daily use has resulted in physical deterioration of the older editions along with inevitable changes in language dictated the need to semi-retire them to reference emeritus shelf. The new editions are all that I expected.
