Langenscheidt Standard Dictionary German: German-English/English-German (Langenscheidt Standard Dictionaries)

This is the most clear and expansive dictionary I've found on German. It really helps with vocabulary.

Easy to use and understand

There are a lot of online resources today... many question the need of an actual dictionary these days. However, There have been several instances where my high school student used my reference book because the online resources were not cutting it. Online resources are not always reliable and accurate.This is a perfect on-hand reference for Beginning high school German students... all the way to German 4+ in college. It comes in handy for translation assignments and many other different types of projects. It's quick and useful for your general word lookups.I recommend having one of these on hand... they are not super expensive and are well worth the investment.

A different form-factor and larger print would be a big help. The content still seems to be reasonably contemporary (disclaimer, I have't been in Germany recently) and is a handy tool when writing or reading.This would be a 5-star review if the form-factor permitted larger print and the publisher used a slightly larger typeface.

Great dictionary: the size is small enough to fit into a bag but it’s not so tiny that it’s difficult to read. The vocabulary is comprehensive. The binding is also made of flexible plastic so that it doesn’t crease or tear when opening. Overall, a must-buy for students of German.

Ok

Has it all-but can be a little bewildering with so much information. Not for light walks as it's pretty big to carry.

I use it every day!
