4.0 out of 5 stars Great Dictionary for Students!, October 4, 2000

I am a German instructor for adults working in the automotive industry. My students really appreciate this dictionary, especially the grammar section! Harper Collins dictionaries are always good for translators, but this one is perfect for intermediate-advanced students who also need a grammar reference. Great dictionary. I carry it with me when I'm teaching!

This has got to be my favorite German-English Dictionary out there, or at least, the Harper-Collins series dictionaries are. I love the College dictionary, but this one is pretty great. I would recommend the newer editions, but still, if you can find a great price on this one, I'd take advantage of it. Has simple layout and extremely useful Grammar and Verb section in the back! What a deal!

I bought this dictionary when I first started learning German. I've been studying German for years and still use it. I still turn to this book first when looking for answers. This book will not teach you German. It is a dictionary, a very good one.
