Great comprehensive dictionary -- with IPA

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

I love this dictionary. It has every Dutch word I have ever looked up and most importantly,
not only does it have pronunciation for the words in both languages but it uses the IPA
to express them. These characteristics put it way above the other Dutch-English dictionaries I have
wasted my money on. With the IPA, it doesn't matter what dialect of English you speak,
whether RP for British English or GenAm for (general) American English -- or if you speak English
at all: the IPA will tell you how to pronounce the words in both Dutch and English
in this dictionary. The alternatives are to have no pronunciations given at all or else somebody's
idiosyncratic symbolic system which is explained by giving examples from some dialect of English
you may not speak. Thank goodness for the IPA. Search around on the web and you will find
recordings that illustrate the IPA symbols -- and accompany a wonderful official IPA book you can buy.

A solid dictionary for Dutch to English translation.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 8, 2007

Verified Purchase

A reasonably comprehensive dictionary that is best suited to English speakers who need to translate Dutch words. It is more comprehensive than online translations at Babelfish.altavista.com or Systransbox. The English to Dutch section is much smaller than the Dutch to English section, but still adequate for writing letters. Usually gives several definitions and examples of sentances. The examples are valuable because word meaning can change with the context.

My only complaint is it does not contain samples of regular word conjugations. It does have a table of irregular verbs, but I don't know Dutch well enough to know the standard conjugations. Like all language dictionaries, it does not give separate listings for standard variations, a real problem for beginners.

Very good, but not quite good enough

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

All in all, this dictionary is pretty fantastic. It's not the Van Dale, but it's bidirectional and contains a substantially large list of important vocabulary. In general, Routledge produces a pretty fine selection of Dutch learning materials [which should definitely be used in conjunction with one another and not individually]. That said, the farther along you get along in your study of the language, the less use you will have for it. In fact, it frequently lacks terms that can be required just to read a newspaper. Additionally, and I think this is essential as a learner, it doesn't always list words in both directions which can be problematic if one is trying to deduce nuance.

Fabulous dictionary for English-speaking students of Dutch

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 18, 2009

Verified Purchase

This is the best Dutch-English / English-Dutch dictionary I've found. It's not the most comprehensive but it's set of words is fairly complete for non-specialized vocabulary. It helpfully gives whether nouns are common or neuter (use "de" or "het"), although if you're looking up a translation from English, you have to then look up the word by Dutch to see this info. The list of contextual examples of word use and phrases is also helpful. If you're trying to learn Dutch, I highly recommend this dictionary.

Excellent dictionary, especially the Dutch to English section

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

Excellent dictionary, especially the Dutch to English section. The English to Dutch portion of the dictionary is somewhat less expansive, however for me it works well to have the most thorough section the Dutch to English portion of the dictionary. I know there is a Van Dale dictionary that is over $500 that is supposed to be excellent, but this dictionary fits in my budget and works well for me.

Decent dictionary for the money

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 3, 2014

If you just need a quick review this dictionary is alright. However, if you are a translater this dictionary is not extensive enough to suit your needs. This dictionary is comprehensive and easy to read, which is nice.

a reliable and quite comprehensive dictionary for learners of Dutch

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

Although the book came second-hand and in paperback, it was in excellent condition. Up to now I have found it very good when looking for translations from Dutch to English, and when looking for English-Dutch (which is not so often) I have encountered no problems. Obviously English people learning Dutch are not a major market, so your chances of finding this dictionary second-hand are not so good - but even new it would be a worthwhile purchase for anyone seriously interested in the language - and presumably also for Dutch learners of English.

In general very good but does not contain more informal language so might be less useful if looking up words from Tweets etc. That said this is an old edition and the new edition may be better. Useful for the basics if it is available at a reasonable price.

What can one say about a two-way translation dictionary other than that it provides a very useful resource for those who need to clarify their understanding or clarification of word meanings between English and Dutch.
