By A Customer
This review is from: The University of Chicago Spanish - English English - Spanish Dictionary (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the best Spanish to English dictionary available, all of my Spanish teachers have said so. I have 3 Spanish-English dictionaries and I find this to be the best by far.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Spanish-English dictionary I've ever come across., July 13, 1998
By A Customer
The University of Chicago Spanish-English Dictionary is perhaps the only tool the advanced student of Spanish needs. It contains useful tables of conjugations for regular and irregular verbs as well as verbs with orthographic changes. It is packed with cultural information to help you manage the great diversity inherent in the Spanish language. A wealth of modern terminology useful in business and technology is included. There are tables of Spanish and English idioms to help the reader gain a more profound understanding of written text and the writer to express himself more authentically. The dictionary is easy to use and wonderfully laid out. I can't say enough good things about this dictionary. It's a must have!
