This is an incredible resource for anyone working between the Spanish and English languages (very thorough even compared to the Webster’s New World Spanish Dictionary); however, it is NOT a pocket dictionary as titled. The dimensions did not sound that big to me when I read them online because I overlooked the 2 inch thickness and weight. Authoritative and up to date, this third edtion of the Pocket Oxford Spanish Dictionary covers over 90,000 words and phrases, and 120,000 translations of contemporary Spanish and English, with brand-new words in each language. The grammar supplement provides full information on all the key points of Spanish and English grammar, including verb tables for quick reference, and a correspondence section gives example letters, emails, CVs, and new help with text messaging. Language is now studied in the context of its culture, so the existing culture section has been revised and expanded to offer lively and useful information on life in the Spanish-speaking world – everything from political institutions to how weddings are celebrated. The Pocket Oxford Spanish Dictionary is the perfect reference for student and adult learners needing an affordable, portable dictionary.
