5.0 out of 5 stars Small but quite useful, March 16, 2000

By	Justo S. - See all my reviews

I am a Spanish native speaker. I have used this dictionary for about 10 years when I travel. It has a lot of expressions besides the definitions.

Of course this doesn't substitute a big one for your desk (like Oxford's), but it is a very good pocket-size one.

3.0 out of 5 stars good enough, May 15, 2001

By A Customer

I bought this dictionary because I love the French one, but I was disappointed with this one. It has most of the words I look up but in the english to spanish section it doesn't tell you the gender of the word, so you have to look it up in the spanish section. I assume that the author expected the user to know, or be able to figure out the gender, but speaking more french than spanish, I am never sure. Otherwise, a nice little dictionary that nearly replaces a bigger one.
