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

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.
