I'm an American living in Southern Spain and I'm an intermediate speaker of the Spanish language at best. This book is so handy! It is small enough that it fits well in one's pocket. Plus each English word has several Spanish translations. It is easy to use and handy to have around. It is a great investment for anyone needing un poco ayuda con Espanol.

This is the second copy of this dictionary I have purchased. We have traveled to many Spanish speaking countries and this dictionary was always with me. My first copy was really dogeared when I purchased the second and recently upgraded volume. I recommend using it with some phrase book such as The Lonely Planet. The dictionary is the right size to contain enough words but yet fit in the pocket of cargo pants.

This is my second copy of this winner, as I lost the first and felt lost without it. I live in Mexico and have found this dictionary to be a great help in so many ways. Small enough to carry in my purse, and inclusive of most words in Spanish. Now use it to translate words I see on TV as well, and have learned so much from using it.
