I bought this book in preperation for the begining of a foreign exchange year in Germany, and I use it just about every day!!! It's become my best pal when it comes to a word I just can't think of! The worst part is (and I should be ashamed) that a lot of the time now, I've got to look up a word I only know in German to find out the English, because I know what it means, but can't remember English anymore. So, of course the best way to learn a language is to move to the country, but then sometimes you just need a little help, even after 8 months here, I still need to look up some German words... and in the begining I was looking up a lot of words to make my point known in German, but now... I'm looking up words to remember them in English....
But every traveler deffenately needs a nice compact dictionary.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, especially for those spending any time in Germany!
I've deffenately got my $7.95 use out of it!
Love it!
and Langenscheidt is generally a great brand too!
Tschüß! und wie immer, Viele Grüße aus Schmalkalden/Thüringen, Deutschland!

Although this is a really classy company who honors their return policy perfectly, this particular product is way overpriced.[...] We expected a larger book with normal 12 pt font, but this is a pocket sized book with 10 pt or less print size.

[...]This was shipped from Germany. I will read the description closer next time.
The quality of the dictionary itself was Very Good and the condition was like new.

Because it is Langenscheidt it is a good dictionary, however, it is palm sized, not book sized.

Good dictionary, smaller in size that what I had hoped & expected. It has turned out to be a handy portable-size dictionary, however.
