Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Emphasizing contemporary Latin American Spanish (and American English), Merriam-Webster's latest dictionary offers concise definitions for more than 80,000 words and phrases. Special sections cover the conjugation of Spanish verbs, common Spanish and English abbreviations, and a few basic tips on Spanish grammar. One nice feature is the clear explanation on the back cover for how to "read" an entry. Random House's Latin-American Spanish Dictionary (1997) shares some similar traits and a similar audience and is in the same price range. Webster's covers 20,000 more words and phrases than does Random House's and gives more frequent plural and masculine/feminine endings, but it provides less depth, fewer regional differences, and fewer informal definitions than Random House's does. If you can only afford one Latin American Spanish dictionary, buy Random House's; otherwise, Webster's is recommended for circulating collections in public and academic libraries.AJohn Charles, Scottsdale P.L., AZ

Spanish-English Dictionary,
By A Customer
This review is from: Webster's New Explorer Spanish-English Dictionary (Hardcover)
This year I've become fast friends with a woman from Venezuala. She has this book and that is how I know how great it is. Since she has only been in this country almost one year, it has been invaluable to her, and me as well.We have used this book numerous times to translate the entire gamut of topics, words, items and meanings. And we've had a hilarious time as well. Such as when she needed to understand the difference between; 'snicker,' and 'sneaker,' 'boxes' and 'bucks,' (which she initially thought sounded the same!) Of course the killer of them all was when she ordered a 'coc,' not and not a 'Coke,' in our local Applebee's! Now I'll be able to have my own copy for when we are on the telephone, and to help be better understand what she and her relations are talking about when they are speaking Spanish! I truly hope that I'll continue to pick up the Spanish language as quickly as she has done, with the help of this book. Thank you, Pat

Very Good Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Webster's New Explorer Spanish-English Dictionary (Hardcover)
Webster's Spanish-English dictionary is an excellent book. Useful for Spanish class in school, or even good enought to help on a trip to Spain. The book is easy to use and makes translations quite simple. I highly recommend it.
