Merriam-Webster's Spanish-English Dictionary: Bilingual on CD-ROM

i purchasd this with a meriams english dictionary.its been a learning experience for both my mom and i.we have been learning the exact meaning of alot of words in spanish.being a mexican from the usa i do not want to be a dumb mejicano and that includes my mom as she shares this knowledge with me.who said that you can not learn at 60 and 80 years.

I got this dictionary because I couldnt get a decent one on internet. It is a useful system, the dictionary will recognize if the word typed in is in English or Spanish or both, and will let you decide which function (noun, adjective, article, etc) you want translated. Its fast and helpful. What I found dissapointing is that from 10 words I look up, 1 does not appear. And also, that many entries in Spanish use mexican as main dialect for expressions rather than using a combination of Latin American and also Spanish varieties.

I own 2003 version. I like the flexibility of the software on my desktop -- no need to go look for the word in my other dictionary.

What I hate about this product is the absence of verb conjugation. If you type 'tienen', it won't guide you to the verb 'tener' unlike other dictionaries I have used.

I also have the Webster English dictionary; that product is definitely better than this Spanish-English dictionary.
