Useful little Dictionary. [Posted on 2007-10-06]
I used this dictionary when I trekked through the outskirts of Germany. There are some inconveniences to it, for example, finding the gender and past tense of certain words is tedious. However, once you get the system down, its portability and quick reference capabilities are useful. I suggest the Harper-Collins series dictionaries for a more reliable and useful source, but this one is great for keeping with you on trips or in your backpack at college for quick reference. Recommended!

LangenscheidtGerman/English Dictionary [Posted on 2007-10-17]
Translations (German/English and English/German very accurate. Dictionary very useful for everyday usage of common language questions.

If there is a negative it is physical. The book is rather thick and a little unwieldy as a result.

Langenscheidt's Dictionary [Posted on 2008-01-24]
What can I say? It's a dictionary. Langenscheidt's Dictionary has been around forever and is as good as any. If it would only translate for me...

confusing [Posted on 2008-04-08]
This dictionary has a confusing way of using acronyms in its definitions. Recommend getting a different dictionary.

Terrible dictionary [Posted on 2008-07-10]
First, it should be obvious that this being essentially a pocket dictionary, isn't going to be the most comprehensive dictionary around. That being said, I hate this dictionary. It is incredibly frustrating to use: under any given entry there will follow a list of a dozen or more words, but without any indication as to how they are supposed to be used or in what context. If you don't already posses a substantial command of the language you will end up pretty far from what you really want to say. I greatly prefer the Webster's New World Dictionary. It is much more user-friendly and will help you find the RIGHT word.
