5.0 out of 5 stars It is very good although it does not have a pronunciation key..., September 1, 2007

This review is from: Irish-English/English-Irish Easy Reference Dictionary (Paperback)

It is very easy to use and it can be a life saver when you are not sure about a certain word as you are learning irish.It contains about 24,500 entries. This is the main irish dictionary that I use. :) Although, it is best to buy this with an Irish course or at least have some knowledge about the pronunciation of irish words because the pronunciation is not listed with the word. But has proved to be very very useful, helpful, and invaluable as I learn about Gaelic Irish!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Dictionary For Learners, October 2, 2007

This review is from: Irish-English/English-Irish Easy Reference Dictionary (Paperback)

This is my first dictionary for learning Irish, and so far it's been pretty good. It is fairly complete in terms of entries, and often has examples of how words are used. It doesn't have pronunciations, which is a bummer on the Irish side but, in some ways, even more so on the English side because when I want to look up the Irish word for "live", for example, so I can talk about where I live, there is also an entry for "live" as in live music. So I have to go back and forth a bit. But overall I like this dictionary.
