5.0 out of 5 stars English-Slovene/Slovene-English Modern Dictionary, September 7, 2000

This review is from: Slovene: English-Slovene/Slovene-English Modern Dictionary (English and Slovene Edition) (Paperback)

I used this dictionary with my boyfriend's parents while in Slovenija and found it to be extremely helpful. It seemed that no matter what word we needed to look up, we would find it here. We even used it quite often for spices and cooking terms which were almost always found(the Slovene section seems more comprehensive for spices than the English section)---however, we would have been lost without it. His parents even went so far as to ask where I purchased it, as they would like a copy. Other dictionaries they have used have not been so reliable.

Make sure you check the publisher's website. They sell this book for the price shown on the back of the book in the pictures on this site. ($24.95 plus $5.00 shipping) $53.50 seems quite excessive for a book you can get for about half that amount from the original publisher. The publisher is an American company so no problems with international currency transactions. They also have a newer and simpler dictionary with 3500 entries for even less. I have no connections to the publisher other than as a customer for the reviewed book.

Das'a Komac provides a very minimal language dictionary that contains a pronunciation guide and a phrasebook. Among the 36 thousand entries, very few usage examples are included, and multiple meanings of the same word are not contrasted. The book is useful, yet consumes large amounts of time to make small translations, and it takes alot of practice to become accoustomed to the setup.
