Customer Reviews

Wow! It's words!

This is incredible - you look up a word, and the book tells you what it means. In Spanish!

Nice convenient size

I bought a used one and I didn't ask how old it was. It was printed in 1984 so there are probably a lot of newer words that are not in my edition, but I still think I will get a lot of use out of it and enjoy it. The print is rather small so for those that need reading glasses or are about to you may want to check that out in person before buying.

Un diccionario conveniente y útil

Se puede usarlo rápidamente y fácilmente. Este diccionario tiene casi todas las palabras que se necesita en una clase de español avanzada. Tengo diez copias en mi clase. This is an excellent smaller dictionary for use in advanced Spanish courses. Make sure you understand that it is Spanish ONLY. An exceptional dictionary to keep handy for longer papers, but one that you probably would not want to carry back and forth to class, is El Larousse Pequeño Ilustrado. For students and translators that need an excellent bilingual dictionary for translation, I have seen nothing that compares with the Oxford Spanish Dictionary. I bought a used copy, and I could not be more happy. If anything happened to IT, I would pay full price to replace it immediately.

Probably the best spanish pocket dictionary

I have been studying spanish for five years and have supplemented my study by reading at least 60 spanish books and although I own about 10 spanish dictionaries the one I use 90% of the time due to its size and reliability is el diccionario del espanol moderno. Es el mejor de todos.

Great because it's entirely in Spanish!

The reason I bought this book is because I believe that the best way for me to learn Spanish is without constant reference to English. Show me the word, give me the Spanish definition. Don't translate. I wanted a Spanish ONLY diccionario. All other dictionaries are really "translationaries." This is the only one of its kind I found and I love it and use it frequently.
