5.0 out of 5 stars Of Limited Value unless you read the Cyrillic alphabet., October 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Serbian-English, English-Serbian Concise Dictionary (Hippocrene Concise Dictionary) (Paperback)

I am a non-Serbo-Croatian speaker, tutoring two Bosnian refugees who have little English. I learned that they read equally well in the latin (Roman) alphabet and in the Cyrillic. I don't. I planned to use this dictionary myself, but I gave it to them, so it isn't a total loss. They tell me that most people educated in the former Yugoslavia are equally familiar with the two alphabets. The book would be more useful to English speakers if Roman text was also used for the Serbo-Croatian words.

This book does have words written in both cyrillic and latin alphabet, but the latin is NOT correct for some letters. The majority of commonly used words are not in this book. I would recommend for a beginner, but not for someone trying to translate anything of importance.

1.0 out of 5 stars Little value, January 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Serbian-English, English-Serbian Concise Dictionary (Hippocrene Concise Dictionary) (Paperback)

Needed dictionary to help translate Serbian documents from Second World War. This volume uses Cyrillic alphabet and the scope is quite limited. Definitions are very short and there is no explantion of Serbian grammar or usage. Might be useful for someone visiting the area but was almost worthless for my needs.
