5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, February 23, 1999

This review is from: Samoan Dictionary: Samoan-English, English-Samoan (Paperback)

This is the best Samoan dictionary I've used! Besides its qualities already mentioned, it also has sample sentences for each word. It gives all definitions for the words, and definitions are precise. Don't settle for anything less!

5.0 out of 5 stars Check it out!, April 15, 1997

This review is from: Samoan Dictionary: Samoan-English, English-Samoan (Paperback)

I have personally used this book many times at work to find the meaning of Samoan words. It is written very well, with all of the diacritical marks - including the ˙okina (glottal stop) and kahako (macron), to allow for correct pronounciation. The book is beautifully bound in a neat hard cover, with burgundy red as the main colour, and with a yellow flower motif running down the side, and a yellow title line, "Samoan Dictionary". Go check it out! It˙s worth the price. Soifua! -Kaliko Trapp, Hilo, Hawai˙i

5.0 out of 5 stars A dear friend to the adult Samoan language learner, February 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Samoan Dictionary: Samoan-English, English-Samoan (Paperback)

25 years ago, I arrived at my school site as a Peace Corps volunteer in Samoa. I soon figured out that the key to having a good experience was to learn Samoan. This dictionary was a dear friend in that process. While I was immersed in Samoan every day, I used this dictionary and whatever written matter I could find for a couple of hours every day to supplement the spoken Samoan I was learning. My Samoan eventually got to be pretty good for a Palagi, and this dictionary was a great help. Faafetai tele lava ia G. B. Milner.
