This review is from: The Oxford new Spanish Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)

This dictionary has a nice print that is easy on the eye. The definitions are clear and give examples of usage so you can be sure you are using the appropriate word. The dictionary even includes computer and internet terms. This is a great dictionary to have on hand for study or travel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pronunciation guide, July 29, 2007

This review is from: The Oxford new Spanish Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)

This dictionary is good as far as giving Spanish/English translations, but its pronunciation symbols for Spanish speakers seeking the correct English pronunciation would be more helpful if it used known Spanish phonics rather than linguistic symbols. Many users of such a dictionary trying to learn English as a second language have had only a basic formal education. Using new symbols only complicates things. I realize that using the Spanish alphabet's symbols is less precise for some sounds, but at least this would help the learners approximate the correct pronunciation. This is a the opinion of a bilingual, bicultural former elementary teacher who has tried to help immigrants learn basic English.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best overall eng-span dictionary, August 6, 2003

This review is from: The Oxford new Spanish Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)

Aug 2003 - I've reviewed abt 15 eng-span dictionaries and this is the best. very clear font, easy to read, 50,000 words eng to span and 50,000 span to eng. a happy medium between a pocket and full size dictionary but has probably all teh words you need unless you're speaking very advanced spanish. the same oxford series for french, german and italian are also the best in those languages i believe for the same reasons as above.

Dec 2009 - Note that a new 2009 edition is now available, here's the ISBN: 0425228606
