Langenscheidt Universal Dictionary German (Langenscheidt Universal Dictionaries)

The size is very good. It fits in your front pocket without be obnoxious. The entries are concise.However, during a trip to Germany, I used this but about 1/4 of the time the word I was looking up was not included - so I had to use a phone app instead. (I did have 2 years of German in school - a long time ago- so likely the scope of words I was looking up was slightly more advanced than I expected.)

Good dictionary, small and handy. Just beware: if you are older than 40 you might find yourself in trouble! it is written way too small to be comfortable to read it. I bought it to try to minimise a bit the usage of the smartphone... mission failed.

Haven't used yet but it looks fine and is compact enough to take with me!

Like the small size

I like this basic dictionary. It's small and fits in your pocket or purse. But because it's basic, it won't have every word you might need which I found out to be the case when conversing with Germans. Sometimes, not often, the translations confused the Germans and they would actually provide the word they felt was more accurate. So the inaccurate translations provided learning opportunities for me to learn vocablulary directly from the Germans. That was cool.

the authentic custard backing toy tire backing makes a great product read some definitions are concise and others are not concise which instead goes down more tack info

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

Perfect sized English/German dictionary used for learning German at a college level.

**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 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: 978-3-468-98168-59783468981685 ISBN-13: 978-3-468-98168-5]] is listed as paperback - this is an error.

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.

Excellent dictionary. Perfect size for good vocabulary and small enough size to carry around easily.

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.

This replaces an old and battered predecessor - as before, it's an excellent and very pocketable translation disctionary (which will be well-used this summer!).I haven't found another publisher who betters this (although there are versions of Langenscheidt with other names on the front).

Great Value, arrived quickly

Great dictionary but RRP is £4.99!

Being German it helps me with my spelling when I write in English

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.

Very good value for money and just the right size to slip into a jacket pocket.

Super size for class use.

Excellent dictionary, very clear and easy to use!

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).

...aber nicht für Personen mit einem minimalen Wortschatz. Da ich mich täglich mit meinem Partner auf Englisch unterhalte und auch simse, reicht mir der Wortschatz dieses Buches aus, auch wenn ich teilweise während einer Klausur (Analyse eines Erzähltextes) einen größeren Wortschatz gebraucht hätte.

Ich bekam das, was ich erwartete. Wie immer sehr schnell geliefert. Über den Inhalt des Buches kann man schwer streiten. Ich habe mich lediglich vertan, weil dort German, statt English steht - also Informationen über Deutschland und das Deklinieren deutscher Wörter zu finden sind. Kann man da nicht Deutsch - statt German vorn drauf schreiben? Naja... mein Fehler.
