1.0 out of 5 stars This book is not modern, February 17, 2000

This review is from: Armenian/English-English/Armenian Concise Dictionary (Hippocrene Concise Dictionary) (Paperback)

I have had the chance to use the book while living in Armenia and unfortunately the book uses words that are not modern and really dates itself. There were a few words and phrases that will help with basic communication but all in all this book was not helpful to me. I found that purchasing books in country much more helpful as they were modernized to meet the everday needs of life in Armenia

4.0 out of 5 stars Good in General, June 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Armenian/English-English/Armenian Concise Dictionary (Hippocrene Concise Dictionary) (Paperback)

This is a good dictionary for general use.

It is not that big, but it has most words that one would need to look up often. It is in Eastern Armenian (which I liked) and it is pocket size.

This review is from: Armenian/English-English/Armenian Concise Dictionary (Hippocrene Concise Dictionary) (Paperback)

This is the best Eastern Armenian dictionary available outside of Armenia. It's pretty complete, although not exactly as up-to-date as one may like. It comes in 2 different sized pocket versions, which are nice to have when travelling. For a serious translator or scholar, this dictionary leaves something to be desired.
