Great for school
Bought this for my Latino parent who sometimes watches news or programs and wants to know what a word means. Very helpful!
I teach Spanish in high school and I buy this dictionaries for my class all the time. The students can go back and forth finding translations from English to Spanish or Spanish to English. Good size and very, easy to handle . I totally recommend them
I am in my 3rd month of Spanish (through Duolingo) so I have a LOT to learn. I spend minimum an hour and many times more. I really am trying. But, I needed a dictionary of "words", "nouns". I already have books for Verbs. I'm pretty sure this little book (thick but short w/ small print) will be a big assist for random words *I* want to know that I have not yet learned in my Duolingo course. I'd give it 5 stars but the PRINT IS SMALL, people. Keep your bi-focals on when you're using it :-) Definitely worth having in your arsenal.
This work really nice if you are trying to lern more and more
My boyfriend is a Spanish speaker so i’m trying to learn Spanish for him and this has been a great help with translating things and understanding him better!
easy to understand
I'm learning Spanish and the course I am taking is quite good, but the instructor who is quite language-educating intuitivo, uses words common to his day job in San Diego - as a detective. So words such as criminal, illegal, información, judicial, social, formal, inmigración, traducción, cancelar, verificar, documentación, acción, ficción - you see where I'm going here. So his cognate tricks led me to this book, and (yo) puedo easily find, plug & play other words which help me in my world of an estudiante de espanol which is a not criminal, illegal, or in need of formal judicial proceedings. It's very helpful whether one plans to travel or not. Also I imaginar estudiantes of inglés will find it as helpful. The book is divided into dos, the first half is English to Spanish, and the second half, Spanish to English. (El libro esta dividido en dos). Once I passed the 2nd lesson, I figured cop-speak may work in writing my ficción criminal y de acción (action/crime fiction) but no, not in Spanish. Again, this is bien for hobby learners or travelers, and second language learners. Grab your reading glasses and a magnifying glass. At the same time. The only problem I have is there is no guide to pronunciation.
