5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have English Spanish dictionary
We bought this to have in our house in Mexico and use it all the time. I like it so much I bought the Spanish version for our friend here in the US that has been speaking English for 12 years. He takes the book with him on his hay deliveries and uses it every day. Great find! Obviously too big for a purse but invaluable! I also like the 'sayings' in the back.

Mediocre, incorrect. Curandero is not a quack. Insulting
Vox does not take into account the many definitions that exist for Spanish terms in the Spanish speaking world. Obviously, the editor-writer categorizes all Spanish speakers as one when we are not. The Vox definition of curandero has only one word: quack. This is highly insulting to native Americans in the Spanish world. Curanderos are family counselors, faith...

Vox does not take into account the many definitions that exist for Spanish terms in the Spanish speaking world. Obviously, the editor-writer categorizes all Spanish speakers as one when we are not. The Vox definition of curandero has only one word: quack. This is highly insulting to native Americans in the Spanish world. Curanderos are family counselors, faith healers, herbologists and nutritionists. They for the most part, cure with herbs. To be sure, some are quacks, opportunists, and are ineffective just as some doctors are. In the ancient world, they were called shamans. The one word for definition induces even the most egalitarian of us to shout racism.
