5.0 out of 5 stars A definate must for Irish students, August 17, 2001

This review is from: Focloir Poca English - Irish / Irish - English Dictionary - Gaeilge / Bearla (English and Irish Edition) (Paperback)

Despite its unassuming appearance, this dictionary is PACKED! It has useful pages on spelling, grammar and pronunciation. It also has a section of geographical proper nouns and a section on common irregular verbs. The most useful feature of this dictionary, however, is its inclusion of phoenetic pronunciation with the Irish entries; something most other Irish/English dictionaries lack.

This review is from: Focloir Poca English - Irish / Irish - English Dictionary - Gaeilge / Bearla (English and Irish Edition) (Paperback)

Not a bad little dicitionary although it is expensive (I paid $30.94). It's compact and has plenty of entries. Keep in mind the type is very small. My biggest problem is the pronunciation of the words in Irish is somewhat lacking. Simple phonetic spelling after the word would be more helpful than the standard dictionary pronunciation descriptions that they use. I am learning Irish and this is important to me. An adequate dictionary but there could be something better out there.

This review is from: Focloir Poca English - Irish / Irish - English Dictionary - Gaeilge / Bearla (English and Irish Edition) (Paperback)

I wish that I had read a bit more on the SIZE of this little gem! The print is very small and, unfortunately, it is only pocketbook-sized. I just want to warn you of its dimensions and this is not even referred to in the actual description of the book itself. Usually, pocket-book sized books are listed as such in the title. I was very disappointed when I got it.
