This was a Christmas gift for our granddaughter.  She was very pleased with it.  Thank you for your timely effort to mail this to us.

I purchased this dictionary after reading reviews from the webs. The product arrived on time and works well. I have used it every day for my studying and reading. All information shared from previous reviewers about this product is true based on my observation.

I have used this dictionary for years, my father used it before that.  Even in my spanish class it was listed as the best one to buy.  I use it until it falls apart, then buy another.  Absolutely the very best.

Hola, Este es un buen libro.  I wish in just a few days I could have this review written all in Spanish.  Not that good yet.  Actually I bought this to supplement my daughter's Spanish class and to use on summer break.  With language if you don't use it you lose it.  These seem easy to use and fun.  A lot of information is in this set.  I received it at a discount for my honest review.

I have not read my purchase yet but I would also like to get it in Spanish.
My daughter recommended this book.

I just got this book from Amazon and thought I would love it bases on the reviews I read.  But I'm not enjoying it because, as someone who doesn't speak Spanish, I need to carry a Spanish-English dictionary around with me.  And even that doesn't help.  A lot of the Spanish words in the book are slang and aren't listed in the Spanish dictionary.  It's driving me crazy.  To the author:  If you're going to mix Spanish and English words in the text the please put the translations to the Spanish words in the back of the book!

This is based on the flashcard idea, so there's a word in Spanish at the top of one page, and then when you hit next page, you see the verb with the English translation.

This was $0.99 when I bought it, so for 99-cents, it's OK.  You can search for various words in English, which is important since it is filed alphabetically and would take forever to page forward to the verb you want.  I think it would be a little better if the verbs were conjugated - at least in the present tense.

For 99-cents, this is OK.

There seems to be a misunderstanding on the role of a bilingual dictionary and one with definitions.  Bilingual dictionaries are a quick translating reference from one language to another and are not necessarily meant to contain definitions.  If you want a dictionary with medical terms and definitions in Spanish, you need a Spanish/Spanish medical dictionary. Though I expected this book to have a lot more in-depth medical terminology than it does, I think it would make an excellent reference for intermediate-level speakers. It has a very handy "dialogue" section in the back for communicating with patients on a variety of medical topics such as getting medical history, dentistry, birth control, neurology, etc., as well as a vast amount of slang terms. Advanced-level professional interpreters/translators, however, may not find this book quite as useful.

I really like this dictionary.  I didn't realize at first that I had others that I didn't have to purchase,
I would have liked the ability to eliminate the other dictionaries that were in different languages.  Guess this is so new to me, and it takes time to file through the instructions.
Yes, I would recomend this book to others.

This 672-page dictionary is very handy, attractive, and readable. The blue headwords are a nice feature. It is a little smaller than a standard/small-size paperback, and with thin pages, it is slimmer than the 672 pages suggest, even with the very nice vinyl cover. It is about .25"/.6 cm slimmer and narrower, and .75"/1.9 cm shorter than a 569-page paperback edition of La Fiesta del Chivo. I ordered mine a few months ago and have been using it regularly. For my needs, I find that too many of the Spanish words I look up are not there -about a third or greater. I need a cargo-pocket edition. The book may be more useful to those looking up English words, but I can't evaluate that. Note that of the pages with entries, 376 are dedicated to English words and 253 to Spanish ones. This may be standard for US editions -or editions sold here; but it's part of my problem. I'm sure a reverse mix would have made this a keeper, and perhaps even a more-balanced mix would have been adequate. I should note that I am quite fluent in Spanish and read about a book a month; so the words I look up are not your everyday ones. This pocket edition would probably be very appropriate for a traveler, or a high school or undergraduate student, though I'd guess not a Spanish major at any level. Unless compactness, and look and feel are your priorites. A final note is that I was able to buy a copy for under $5 from an Amazon seller. If I had paid more, I may have returned it; but for the price, it was still a very good buy that will make a nice gift when I find the appropriate Langenscheid. Saludos (which, by the way, is not in this pocket edition, jumping from salubridad to salvo) y suerte (which is).

Asimilndome a la cultura americana de temprana edad, mi idioma natal (espaol) fue daado por falta de prctica y vocabulario. Adems, viviendo en Nueva York, donde un 'bildin' es donde vives, o "parquiando" el carro en el "parqueo"...este tpo de espanglish es aceptible con conversaciones con amigos, familiares, pero no para quedarse en el vocabulario del espaol....siendo tan rico y con bello fruto.

Este libro puede ayudar a cualquier mejorar su espaol, disfrutando de las riquezas de su vocabulario sin prestndose de nadie.

Barron's is the only portable Spanish/English dictionary I found (after perusing about 30 of 'em) that had ALL of the words on my list of twenty difficult/obscure Spanish words. Others this comprehensive were huge tomes, much too large to carry around.

In addition, Barron's often gives both the Spanish word used in Spain and the one used in Mexico or other places in Latin America when they are different. This is PRICELESS!

For example, the "proper" Spanish word for "cufflinks" is "gemelos" but in Mexico, the words "mancuemas" or "mancuernillas" are used. Barron's NAILS this! BIG BONUS!

It has a durable-looking plasticized binding that I think will withstand heavy use.

This a great monolingual dictionary for Spanish advanced students or heritage speakers. This is a edition specially designed for Latin American students. There is another (heavier and more expensive) edition for Spain. I prefer this one. My students carry it daily because it doesn't weight a lot. Besides, definitions are clear, examples of usage are provided and a lot of words come with synonyms. It includes a review of Spanish orthography and over 40 verbs conjugated. In summary, lots of well organised information for a good price. What else can be said?

I do not understand the Amazon merchant pricing for this book as I paid only $8.95 for my copy at a local bookstore. On a two week trip to Costa Rica when I came across a word I wanted to look up it was never to be found in this little dictionary. After a dozen unsuccessful attempts to find Spanish words in the dictionary I gave up and left it in the glove box for the remainder of the trip.

It is OK for going from English to Spanish as you can select from the available words to craft your sentences. the words may not reflect local idioms but the people understand what you are trying to say and appreciate the effort in any event.

The Spanish English Visual Bilingual Dictionary is filled with colorful images of all the items listed with English and Spanish words. I find it is much easier to remember the words when presented with pictures. At times so many of the Spanish words are similar to the English (telefono/telephone or la nectarine/nectarine) so it makes it even easier to remember along with the pictures.

The areas covered include: people, appearance, home, services, shopping, food, study, work, transport, sports and environment.

Very helpful dictionary when you are learning a language or to look up specific

words. There is a Spanish and English index to simplify searching for words.

No voy a opinar sobre la calidad literaria, cuando uno busca una lectura para entretenerse, no puede pedir demasiado.
Lo que me sorprendi fue la psima ortografa, tanto en castellano como en las innecesarias frases en ingls. Al principio me entretuve en ir anotando los errores, despus me cans, eran demasiados!!!
Pasar el texto por un corrector ortogrfico de los ms bsicos, nos hubiera evitado a los lectores muchos "dolores de ojos"

The dictionary arrived in excellent condition exactly as described.  I am most happy with the packaging and service in regard to this purchase and will certainly purchase from amazon.com and this vendor again.
