5.0 out of 5 stars Hungarian Practical Dictionary, February 28, 2006

By	Marsita (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

We purchased this book as a gift for my Mother. She had taken Hungarian lessons as a young girl growing up in Pennsylvania and had friends and relatives to speak Hungarian to until about 20 years ago. This book was purchased for her to use on an upcoming trip we are making this summer to Hungary. She is so pleased with the book's content that she read it cover to cover reacquainting herself with words she hasn't used in years. She would rate this book five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source, best dictionary we've found, March 18, 2009

By	R. Cole "new momma" (Dayton, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We recently moved to Hungary and purchased this dictionary before we moved. It's bulky but it still goes with us on all of our shopping trips, especially for grocery shopping. We have two small children so knowing ingredients is very important to me. There is very little english spoken or written in our part of the country so this has become our "go to" book. The Hungarian language has such a large amount of words, you really need this larger dictionary. The small travel dictionaries aren't enough. Helpful hint: Hungarians use lots of suffixes when you can't find a word break up the syllables and look for them and put them together. This usually is the key for the hard to find words!
Viszlat!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hippocrene won me over on this one., December 28, 2007

By	DomnulVJB (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

Now, normally Hippocrene publishes these concise (less than 10,000 translations) and commercial (New Times Font, no idiom markings) dictionaries, surprisingly about many of the world's less-commonly-studied languages. This dictionary has to be one of the better reference books published by Hippocrene which I have ever come across.

A good, handy dictionary and very recommended!
