Book Description

0199214913 978-0199214914 August 6, 2007 1
The much-anticipated Pocket Oxford-PWN Polish Dictionary brings together the authority and expertise of two of the world's major reference publishers, in a compact and affordable format.
With more than 80,000 words and phrases, and over 120,000 translations, here is all the vocabulary readers need for day-to-day use, presented in a very easy-to-use format, with thousands of clear examples to help to choose the right word in the right context. For example, if readers wish to translate the word "firm," this dictionary will help them differentiate between "a firm handshake," "a firm mattress," and "a firm date." With Polish material taken from the PWN Corpus of Polish, a huge databank of real Polish, and English language material derived from the Oxford English Corpus, a multi-million word databank of real English, this dictionary is clearly the most authoritative on the market. Moreover, the dictionary has been checked throughout by Polish and English native speakers, to ensure that the information given is more accurate and up to date than in any comparable dictionary.
A conveniently sized paperback that is both portable and accessible, the new Pocket Oxford-PWN Polish Dictionary is a great resource for everyone from the lover of Polish culture to the beginning or intermediate language student.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Dictionary for Polish Learners, Hands Down, September 26, 2009
This review is from: Pocket Oxford PWN Polish Dictionary (Paperback)
This is without a doubt the best affordable dictionary for Polish learners. The two most comprehensive and accurate Polish-English dictionaries out there are the Kosciuszko and the Oxford-PWN, but the full versions of those (both 2-volume monsters) are crazily expensive. Luckily, this dictionary by Oxford-PWN is much, much cheaper and still very comprehensive for all but the most advanced study. It has nearly 10x more words than the Pogonowski and more accurate translations as well. A lot of the other Polish-English dictionaries are from foreign language companies and are better when translating into their own native tongues (i.e. German-Polish for Langenscheidt, French-Polish for Larousse). But if you need precision in Polish-English, then this is the way to go. Just be warned: at over 1,000 pages it is hardly a "pocket" dictionary and may be a bit tough to carry regularly to class.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for New Learners of Polish, April 12, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pocket Oxford PWN Polish Dictionary (Paperback)
I bought and returned this. It was not very good for English speakers learning Polish but I am sure it is great for Polish speakers needing to translate into English. The pages were yellowish which made it look like it was an old used book, but I bought it brand new.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK..but missing a lot, March 26, 2010
By 
Alex (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pocket Oxford PWN Polish Dictionary (Paperback)
This is a good dictionary overall but I found that it was missing many words especially when it came down to names of animals, trees, etc. If you are an advanced Polish speaker and need a dictionary to find very specific word translations that are not used commonly this would not be the ideal dictionary for you.
