I carried this Dictionary of Spoken Spanish to become fluent in Spanish as a second language over 45 years ago when I was stationed in Spain. I have sampled numerous other foreign language dictionaries becoming conversant in two other languages (German and Esperanto) and learning a smattering of several more (Welsh, Estonian, Korean). The format and style of this dictionary is head and shoulders above any others I have seen. The most prominent feature is the use of sample sentences and phrases to illustrate how words are used, and a thorough coverage of different uses of words and phrases; which eliminates most of the ambiguity so common in learning a foreign language. I recommend this book without reservation, for beginning and advanced students of the Spanish language.

This is my favorite of the paperback Spanish / English dictionaries. Definitions are detailed enough to help prevent accidents of picking the wrong word, vocabulary is extensive... very easy to use in either direction. I have purchased good used copies of this book many times to give to my English-as-Second-Language students.
GREAT ITEM
