Reader Reviews~I upgraded to the Larousse Concise Portuguese-English dictionary from a smaller, even more concise model issued by another publisher. Though it meant slightly more weight to lug around Brazil, I compensated by packing little clothing and benefited tremendously from my decision. I recommend this dictionary for its combination of pragmatic and colloquial entries (let's face it, some dictionaries can be downright prude) as well as academically inclined ones. All in all, this is a comprehensive and~~ easy to use dictionary whose reasonable heft (it's not pocket sized unless you're a kangaroo, but it's not too heavy either) is well offset by its scope and ease of use.~
