This review is from: Random House Webster's Pocket Spanish Dictionary: Second Edition (Random House Newer Words Faster) (Paperback)

As a student in a Spanish language school I constantly am referring to this dictionary. I keep it in the front pocket of my backpack and have used this one more than my larger Spanish-English Dictionary. I have found that unless it is some obscure word, you're going to find what you need in this pocket-size one. The cover is heavy duty so it has handled the wear of nearly a year of classes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly Practical, August 4, 2007

This review is from: Random House Webster's Pocket Spanish Dictionary: Second Edition (Random House Newer Words Faster) (Paperback)

This very practical Spanish (and English) dictionary fits easily into your shirt pocket and therefore is available when you need it. The book contains over 50,000 definitions in 400 compact pages and fits so easily in your pocket or purse that you almost forget you have it with you. Also, the last few pages provide useful common expressions, verb uses, plural forms, etc. The print is a necessarily a little small and the compact size limits vocabulary a bit. Still, this superbly practical dictionary served me well as I traveled solo in Mexico, Guatemala, and in several nations in South America.
