Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This book is designed as a small and practical bilingual dictionary of both English and Portuguese languages.
As almost all bilingual dictionaries, it does not give definitions, but does give "synonyms" from one to the other language concerned, that is, the word or words or phrases used as corresponding sense equivalents in Portuguese-English and English-Portuguese alphabetical order.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Good dictionary with some exceptional points.,

This review is from: Portuguese-English/English-Portuguese Practical Dictionary (English and Portuguese Edition) (Paperback)
This is the dictionary owned by my Brazilian fiancee and she loves it. In regards to the other review stating that there are some omissions, I have found that all dictionaries have omissions, and to be a serious student of the language you should own at least three. This one has the huge advantage of giving phonemic pronunciation guides for all words, unlike many Portuguese dictionaries including the Random House Websters, which I also own and is indeed very complete. Overall I would recommend it as a valuable addition to your Portuguese reference bookshelf.

This review is from: Portuguese-English/English-Portuguese Practical Dictionary (English and Portuguese Edition) (Paperback)
This was the first Portuguese dictionary I owned. When I was learning Portuguese I had some Brazilian pen-pals who helped me. Some sent magazine articles. There were quite a few words that I couldn't find in the dictionary (dica="hint", for example). Save your money on this one. Instead, get Random House Webster's pocket Portuguese dictionary (0-679-40060-5) [great for obscure, slang words!] or Collins Gem Portuguese dictionary (0-00-472409-7).
