I bought this book for my wife who is a native Spanish speaker that learned English by speaking and not from classes, so her English vocablulary is limited. So I thought that this book would have several words she didn't know. Going through the entire book, I was only unfamiliar with less than a handful and we felt that that it did not give anything more than my basic Spanish/English dictionary. Another complaint is that Amazon sells it for $3.99 which along with the shipping makes it cost over $ 6.00 but the book itself is marked $2.00. Also, in many instances a word has more than one meaning but the author was lax in not providing all meanings as a good dictionary would.

The good thing about it is that it simplifies culling out of a dictionary for the beginning student, some of the very common words. As I would prefer to have a pocket dictionary with me I think it is an unnecessary expense to have to also add this book.

I teach English in Buenos Aires. I bought this book for my students. It is a great book because it explains the English slang in Spanish so they can relate to it.

I found this book helpful, it is more than comprehensive in terms of its scope and the categories make it easy to navigate. My big problem with this compilation is that there is no pronunciation given in the definitions, so there is no way to know how each English word is to be pronounced. This is so important because English pronunciation is very irregular. I had some of my ESL students just throw this book out because they couldn't make anything of it.

This book is very practical. It contains a good selection of commonly used words in the English language. It is a handy book that you can take anywhere with you. It is indeed a very useful, thin dictionary that not only provides the meaning of each word listed, but also gives you a sentence using each word in its right context. Good value as well.
