5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful and Definitive Reference on German Vocabulary, April 2, 2002

By	"jeff-barnes" (St Paul, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Langenscheidts Großwörterbuch: Deutsch als Fremdsprache (Paperback)

This dictionary is the perfect supplement to a bilingual German dictionary. It contains explanatory, easy-to-understand definitions for some 66,000 German words. Each entry contains the part of speech (and gender, for nouns), pronunciation where nonstandard, conjugation (verbs) or declination (nouns), a clear definition, and often examples, related phrases, synonyms, antonyms, and other helpful data. This is extremely useful for those speaking German as a foreign language. A word of warning: this dictionary, of course, should only be used by those with at least intermediate proficiency in German, as the dictionary is monolingual-German.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are serious about learning German..., September 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Langenscheidts Großwörterbuch: Deutsch als Fremdsprache (Paperback)

This dictionary is aimed at the adult who is living in a German-speaking country, speaks some German, and needs a dictionary with (1) easy-to-understand definitions in simple language; (2) complete grammatical information on how to use words; (3) clear example sentences, using common words. Total immersion the easy way. It is somewhat comparable to the Oxford Learner's Dictionary for English. Attractive typography and layout, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic learning tool!, March 4, 1999

This review is from: Langenscheidts Großwörterbuch: Deutsch als Fremdsprache (Hardcover)

As an advanced speaker, I found the dictionary a much better alternative to a traditional translation dictionary. Each entry is easy to understand, and provides easy to use word usage tips. I highly reccomend this to anyone that is fluent, yet still needs a dictionary now and then!!
