O Melhor Diccionario No Mercado!,
By
This review is from: Harper Collins Pocket Portuguese Dictionary (Paperback)
What do Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Sao Tome e Principe, East Timor, Macao, Guinea-Bissau, Goa, Diu, and parts of New England (U.S.A.) have in common? Well, if you didn't know already, these nations and territories encompass the Portuguese-speaking world, and if you are looking for an excellent, well-researched Portuguese-English dictionary on the market,Harper-Collins' Portuguese-English dictionary is simply the best one out on the market. Recently revised and redesigned into a handy, pocket-size edition, dictionary offers the best coverage on Portuguese vocabulary, grammar, and structure that other famous foreign-language dictionaries such as Lagenscheidt and Oxford have never been able to grasp. The book, which is in a condensed collegiate edition, is great for its' classification of usage (e.g. it distinguishes words used in Brazil vs. those used in Portugal), and the book's overall design is excellent. Other dictionaries don't take the time and organization in clearly stating where each word is used in the Portuguese-speaking world, and unless you're well known with Lusitanian and Brazilian norms, then not including this classification will make it more difficult when learning or using the language. If you need the best Portuguese-English dictionary on the market, then you have found it! Somente o melhor dicionario no mercado!
