4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Book, November 20, 2003

By A Customer

My 8 year old is learning polish (her choice) and this book has really helped alot! Not only has it helped her but it has also helped my aunt who speaks mostly polish, with helping with her homework.
It also includes alot of extras like numbers, months, and the pronunciation cz, wz and so on. I highly recommend if help is needed in either english or polish.

3.0 out of 5 stars Expected more common words, January 19, 2005

By	s_corpion (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this dictionary because I had to write letters in Polish. I speak Polish; but, I have difficulty in reading and writing it. I found that the dictionary was lacking in quite a few Polish translations for common words.

3.0 out of 5 stars decent Polish-English dictionary, October 30, 2006

I like the layout of the dictionary (the sections of useful material), and the pronunciation guides.

I think it is lacking in the number of words that it translates from the Polish to the English, in particular. Truly wish it had more words than it does, so must give it no more than 3 stars.
