Book Description
Langenscheidt expands its popular bilingual dictionary series with the addition of five new languages: Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish. The trusted Universal Dictionary ensures quick and accurate reference with thousands of clearly arranged entries and modern vocabulary. Each dictionary is concise, compact work for use at home, in the office, at school or while traveling.
Reader ReviewsThis pocket dictionary really will fit in your pocket! It has a flexible plastic cover which should wipe off easily if need be. It also has blue headwords. It appears to be as comprehensive as one would expect for this size. It includes both American and British usage (the American usage is indicated by Am). The introduction and guide to pronunciation are in both languages. There are also 22 pages at the back with information for English travelers: Dutch basic (travel) phrases, abbreviations, a mini-grammar including irregular verbs, numerals, and how to tell time. It also has metric conversions including a thermometer showing both Fahrenheit Centrigrade/Celcius in English and Dutch. (The pocket dictionaries for some other languages have all of this information for both languages; Langenscheidt apparently left the English information out of the Dutch edition so the total page count would be the same as for the other dictionaries (a cost-saving move on their part).)
