This review is from: Larousse Concise Spanish/English English/Spanish Dictionary (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

This dictionary leaves no word left out. Each entry has all the possible ways you might want to use that word in a sentence, along with many common phrases.

5.0 out of 5 stars El mejor, June 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Diccionario español/inglés - inglés/español: Larousse Concise Dictionary (Paperback)

El Larousse es el mejor diccionario bilingüe español-inglés. Trabajo de intérprete y dispongo de varios diccionarios, pero éste es el que siempre llevo a mis citas. Esto me provoca dolor de espalda de vez en cuando (el diccionario no es grande pero tampoco es pequeño, y pesa bastante si lo carga en su bolsa todo el día), pero seguramente vale la pena. Aparte de las traducciones generales, el diccionario Larousse explica clara y concisamente los regionalismos, los modismos y los términos técnicos. ¡Se lo recomiendo con entusiasmo!

This review is from: Diccionario español/inglés - inglés/español: Larousse Concise Dictionary (Paperback)

If you are serious about studying spanish, this book is for you. There are so many words and plenty of cultural information about Spanish-speaking countries. The price is great for such a complete dictionary. This book is equally as good for Spanish people trying to learn english.
