A German Teacher's Two Cents: The Best on the Market,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collins German-English English-German Dictionary (Hardcover)
I have taught German for ten years, and I have done freelance translations with German for fifteen. This dictionary remains my favorite German dictionary. It is complete, contains loads of idiomatic expressions, it's easy to read, it's vocabulary is up to date (including lots of software and computer terminology). I recommend this dictionary whole-heartedly. Another good choice is the Langenscheidt--but Langenscheidt is sometimes too British, so the Collins is the best option for any American.

understandable, very good translations, gives good concepts,
By A Customer
This review is from: Collins German-English English-German Dictionary (Hardcover)
One of the best bilingual engl/ger. dictonaries, the way the entries are desigened gives you very fast a good picture of the concept of the word, a smooth concept. Other engl/ger dictionaries as for eg. Langenscheidt are very often disruppting the way to get the english sense and meaning by the more typical german way of thinking ("one word for every detail") and because of unsufficient describing definitions. Anyhow, ideal state for defining words, by explaining them, not by giving "substitute words" is seen in den Websters englisch- englisch editions. The Collins comes this state pretty close an is one which I can really recommend! thky terrellWhat I would love in addition? 1. I want that derivations are added, which would give an more final concept and thorough understandig! 2. AND I WANT A CD OF THIS DICTIONARY, please!
