5.0 out of 5 stars Tambien es en ingles /espanol, August 26, 2003

This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Spanish-English Dictionary (JC) (CD-ROM)

This is a very fine bilingual encyclopedia of the Spanish and English languages.

It installs within seconds and has extremely complex search capabilities in either language.

Whatever Amazon is charging for it - multiply by five and you will have a glimpse of the value of this CD-ROM.

Leave it in RAM. Read a Spanish language newspaper over the net. Watch Univision on cable TV. Pick words off the radio.

If you are using this dictionary to learn Spanish, you will ALSO have to have a verb book - it doesn't teach grammar, but it DOES teach modismos (idiomatic expressions).

It DOES know a noun from a verb from an adverb from an adjective.

This is an indispensable tool. Load it onto your laptop and take it to Mexico City or Miami or Venezuela. Share with the people you meet there.

I'm a Spanish teacher and I find this software very useful and helpful for instantaneous word look-up. It yields search results faster than Goggle and includes idiomatic expressions. Its files can be installed onto as many computers as desired. I lost the actual disc a couple years ago but have since installed the dictionary on other computers.

This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Spanish-English Dictionary (JC) (CD-ROM)

When I received the Spanish-English CD-Rom I didn't know what to expect. But I was hoping that it would be somewhat like the book form I own. By that I mean that when I look up a word in either language for instance. In English it should give me the Spanish equivalent or Spanish the English equivalent. So far, that is what it has done. I didn't need anything complex. I just need it to communicate with someone that works for me. Although, my Spanish is pretty good, I have an occasional memory lapse. I like just being able to click & imput a word & have it come up quickly. Also not have to deal with a heavy book. Heavy books are deterrents in making the effort to look things up.
Also it came with additional products that have expired and I have to purchase seperately for nearly $20.00 each. A medical dictionary (which I probably won't need) Webster's & Collegiate thesauras, Webster's 11th Collegiate and Webster's Dictionary. Do I need to have theese products? I'm clueless. I was told I didn't, so I'm trying it without. So far it seems I don't. Fo me this works.
