5.0 out of 5 stars Muito Bem, April 24, 2004
By "howeb18" (Schenectady, NY United States) - See all my reviews
~I upgraded to the Larousse Concise Portuguese-English dictionary from a smaller, even more concise model issued by another publisher. Though it meant slightly more weight to lug around Brazil, I compensated by packing little clothing and benefited tremendously from my decision. I recommend this dictionary for its combination of pragmatic and colloquial entries (let's face it, some dictionaries can be downright prude) as well as academically inclined ones. All in all, this is a comprehensive and~~ easy to use dictionary whose reasonable heft (it's not pocket sized unless you're a kangaroo, but it's not too heavy either) is well offset by its scope and ease of use.~

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, October 1, 2005
I took this pocket dictionary around Brazil with me. It is very complete and convenient. For most words it includes little contextual phrases. There's also a verb conjugation summary at the beginning.
This is the best Portuguese-English/English-Portuguese dictionary I have, even counting my larger ones. It's the best travel dictionary I know of.

4.0 out of 5 stars Larousse Portugues-Ingles Dictionary, September 7, 2005
By Pete Wilson "highdesertangler" (Monterey, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great dictionary for portugues-ingles translations. Currently using for an advanced Portuguese class for which this dictionary is essential. Was using Harper-Collins which was not sufficient; additionally, the binding in the Harper-Collins hard-cover dictionary was pitiful and pages started falling out after less than a month of use. This dictionary is definitely the better of the two. Rated at 4 stars because some of the translations are not completely correct (with Brazilian use).
