5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just For Tourists, April 4, 2003

This review is from: Vietnamese (Insight Pocket Travel Dictionaries) (Paperback)

This is an easy-to-use dictionary and is very comprehensive for a small dictionary. I'm learning Vietnamese to prepare to live there for a fews years, so my needs may more advanced than those of someone visiting Vietnam for 2 weeks. This is the best Vietnamese dictionary out of the 6 or 7 I've tried.

This book has current words in politics and basic computer terms. I tested it with words like "keyboard", "computer games", and "server" and found good translations for all of these. It also has basic American slang. However, it doesn't have "router", "ISP", "chemical weapon", or "bilateral trade agreement".

There is an English-to-Vietnamese section and Vietnamese-to-English, so it would be useful for native speakers of either language.

This review is from: Vietnamese (Insight Pocket Travel Dictionaries) (Paperback)

I bought my first one from Borders in 2005 and needed to replace because I used it so much to help translate with my Vietnamese family. My wife uses it to try and explain things she knows in Vietnamese but cannot explain in English and I do the same thing to explain things I understand in English but cannot explain in Vietnamese. Great Dictionary! I have not found another one as good. Definitely recommend!

I cancelled my order as it had been delayed and I was leaving on vacation before the date it was promised to be shipped.
