Langenscheidt Universal German Dictionary: German - English / English - German
Product ID: 53219957
Small enough for pocket or purse, yet comprehensive enough for classroom use or casual conversation. • 36,000 references • All headwords in blue for quick reference • Comprehensive vocabulary with many new words and phrases • The ideal pocket reference work for use at home, in the office, at school, and for travel Review: Great little dictionary - **UPDATED OCTOBER 2017** This is a great little dictionary, and when I say little, it's really tiny - very handy for reading in bed, for example. Despite the small size, the print is clear, with the blue colouring for headwords proving very practical. There are 36,000 references on 608 pages. Unless you don't want a physically small dictionary, I think this is a smarter purchase than the equivalent Collins dictionary . I love it. Langenscheidt is a very well known German publishing house specialising in dictionaries. Their English-German dictionaries are available in both "English" and "German" versions, by which I mean the language used for the introduction and so forth. If you want a more extensive dictionary, than I'd recommend the German edition of the larger Standard German dictionary , 11.1 x 15.6mm, and quite thick at 5.3cm (1632 pages!). This comes in at 130,000 words. Being from 2016, this comes with an access code for the Langenscheidt Wörterbuch (dictionary) app. This is not the case with the equivalent Collins dictionaries which have 112,000 words and some grammar - neither the [[ASIN: 0007453027 7th edition (2014)]] nor the very similar 8th edition (2018) . Standing in the middle is the Praktisches Wörterbuch / Pocket Dictionary, 10.4 x 15.2 cm, but rather thinner (3.6cm, 832 pages), with about 60,000 words. Again, the most recent German version (2016) comes with an app, whilst the English one (from 2011) does not. Langenscheidt also do a series of baby dictionaries called "Lilliput", just 5.2 x 5.9 cm - note that these are one way dictionaries. You can find the German version, with just 8,500 words, here . Finally, this dictionary has a flexible vinyl cover. The 2011 edition ISBN-13: 978-3-468-98168-5 9783468981685 ISBN-13: 978-3-468-98168-5]] is listed as paperback - this is an error. But just click flexibound and it takes you to the [[ASIN: 3468982003 newest, 2018 edition]] (ISBN-13: 978-3-468-98200-2). Review: Brilliant little dictionary. - I never thought a dictionary could be cute until I bought this one. It's much smaller than I expected, but they've managed to fit a lot of words into it (more than some of the bigger "pocket" dictionaries you can buy) while maintaining easy navigation of it. The vinyl cover feels much nicer than one would expect.

Functional pocket dictionary
Good pocket dictionary - it's really small! The one I received had stained pages so requested return and soon after received a new one in mint condition. Great device so 5 star for the product and seller.

Perfect
I bought this for a learner whose native language is German, so she can translate maths terms. Nice book, good small size, and doesn't have any hints or phrases (a plus for my purposes as she can use it in exams but you might prefer one with...) Langenscheidt is the top German publisher of dictionaries.

Arrived safely and is as described
This dictionary arrived in very fair time. It is easy to handle; arrived safely; was adequately packaged and is fully as described on screen. Needed to aid us, reading a pen-friend,s letters.

とてもよい💮
注文より2日後に発送、そこから5日で届きました。 日本から見て海外から発送される商品としては早いです。 値段もかなり良心的で買って損はない品であります。 実はこの本日本国内でも大きい書店では売られてはいるのですが価格はこちらの方が圧倒的に安いです。 大きさは胸ポケットサイズ。 内容も良い。 包装も最低限ですが充分です。 コーヒー三杯分で買える品としてはこの上ないでしょう。

Thanks for the fast delivery!
I enjoy learning this language with that dictionary that’s literally the ideal one for putting it into a bag. This vocabulary is so professional, and this is easy to find words in it. + Fast shipping I was happy about.

Es mejorable.
Compre este diccionario porque domino el inglés y hay muchisimas palabras en alemán que se parecen a las del inglés. El diccionario es mas compacto de lo que me esperaba, lo cual sería bueno, de no ser porque es a costa del espesor de las hojas (da la impresión que se podrían romper de un soplo de aire), el numero de palabras (no está mal pero podría ser mejor) y la falta de transcripción fonética de las palabras (al ser yo principiante total, esto me fastidia muchísimo).
