This review is from: Langenscheidt's Universal German Dictionary: German English English German (Paperback)

I speak only very basic German. Got this for a 2 week trip and planned to leave it w/ my daughter who is studying there this semester. I found it generally helpful; she is an intermediate-level German speaker and wasn't nearly as impressed. It's main positives are that it is small and fits easily into your purse, but is substantial enough that it had nearly every word I needed. My main challenge (and I suspect the reason for my daughter's disdain) was that it didn't include common slang. It also wasn't nearly as helpful in Bavaria. Overall, though, I'd recommend it for anyone traveling who needs a more comprehensive, but very portable, dictionary.

I like the German language because it is easy to pronunce and I think this book is very good for people who want to learn how to speak German and English fluently, like me.
