3.0 out of 5 stars OK but a poor quality printing that is physically hard to read, November 4, 2006

This review is from: Cassell's German & English Dictionary (Paperback)

I bought the Kassell's based on the recommendation of my teacher, but I don't like it. I am a language student learning German professionally for 20 hours/week. This dictionary has only 35,000 words and is printed horribly. The newstype is smudged and printed on low-quality newsprint. I find this book physically frustrating to read and discern what it trying to tell me.

Buy Webster's New World German Dictionary instead. It is gorgeous, organized better, and printed with crisp black type on bright white paper. It has over 100,000 words and it much better for daily use. I love that one.

As a Vocal Performance student, this resource is necessary for learning to pronounce the word properly as well as understanding the meaning of the word. The IPA is great. The definitions are concise. This is the Best all around dictionary with IPA that I've found. You can't go wrong with it!
