1.0 out of 5 stars Miserable print quality, April 10, 2006

Brian Beckman (Renton, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The New Bantam-Megiddo Hebrew & English Dictionary (English and Hebrew Edition) (Paperback)

The Hebrew letters are very small, fuzzy, smudgy, and painful to read. The difference between a gimel and a nun can be impossible to see, chaf and bet confused, even heh and hhet are hard to pick apart. I need a huge magnifier and a good deal of luck to get a result. It's a shame because the dictionary contains a large number of words. Keep looking and skip this one. It will become plant food at my house once I find a replacement.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Pocket Reference, August 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Bantam-Megiddo Hebrew & English Dictionary (English and Hebrew Edition) (Paperback)

This dictionary contains many listings, but is somewhat limited in the definitions. It is also confusing in the grammar sections and in the English to Hebrew definitions. It is nice for a quick reference if you're not looking for detailed definitions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best one I've found, June 22, 2004

Adam_H "haskela" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Bantam-Megiddo Hebrew & English Dictionary (English and Hebrew Edition) (Paperback)

I recommend this dictionary to students of Hebrew. I find it better than Zilberman, and Ben Yehuda is full of mistakes. For a paperback size book its coverage is very good.

It's true it's from 1975, but doesn't seem to matter.

This dictionary is very practical, quick and mobile. You can put in your bag and go around with. It is an indispensable tool for Hebrew learners, beginners and medium level.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly good dictionary
My only issue is that it lists verbs in the past tense, when I prefer looking them up in their infinitive rather than having to conjugate them into past tense first. Read more
