1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, July 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Lithuanian/English-English/Lithuanian Concise Dictionary (Hippocrene Concise Dictionary) (Paperback)

I was looking for an inexpensive but fairly comprehensive Lithuanian-English English-Lithuanian dictionary. This isn't it. Although the dictionary claims to have 8000 terms in each language, many common English words, like "contrast" for example, aren't in here. The word "reveal" is listed only as a noun, no reference to the verb. Also there was apparently no attempt to have all of the Lithuanian terms which are given in the English section, listed in the Lithuanian section. Consequently the Lithuanian word "atrasti", given as a term for "reveal" (noun) is not listed in the Lithuanian section. There is a pronunciation guide at the beginning of the book which is helpful, especially because Lithuanian appears to me to be a pretty phonetic language, unlike English. There are no phrases, no grammar. Don't bother with this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars There are much better dictionaries, July 25, 2000

This review is from: Lithuanian-English English Lithuanian (Compact Dictionary Series) (Paperback)

I learned to speak Lithuanian in Lithuania and found this dictionary to be entirely disappointing. While the compact size is nice, there are infinitely better Lithuanian dictionaries available. There are a lot of mistranslations and some of the pronunciation keys are out in leftfield. This isn't a higher form of Lithuanian, just an out-moded form. The Bronius Piesarskas/Bronius Svecevicius is a much better distionary.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommened unless you speak Lithuanian, April 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lithuanian-English English Lithuanian (Compact Dictionary Series) (Paperback)

This book is alright, but the Lithuanian pronounciations are NOT in the English section. For example: Sun (suhn) saule n You'd have to do a reverse search for the word.
