The Greatest Handbook!

This dictionary is the perfect handbook for anyone, at any level, who wants to learn or review Italian. Complete and thorough definitions, pronunciaton guide, a section on verbs and tenses, easy to read. Great price, too. I have studied different languages over the last 40+ years and used many different resources--this ranks with the best.

Multum in Parvo

I have three Italian dictionaries. The magnificent Oxford Paravia hardback sits on a lectern in my writing room. Cassell's is my use-on-the-sofa source. I needed a dictionary for recent trip to Italy and bought this one--the Oxford would need a suitcase to itself, and even the Cassell's is not light (and Kindle, infuriatingly, offers not one single usable Italian dictionary). I bought it with doubts, for I usually dismiss "portable" dictionaries.

It is a magnificent dictionary! Very occasionally I have to go back to the Oxford for an unusual, or old, word, or an unusual meaning. But rarely. For reading modern classic Italian writers, or serious newspapers (Corriere della Sera), or even, usually, Dante this portable comes through almost every time. The typography and the quality of print are excellent; it is easily read even by 66 year old eyes. The "India" paper seems of good quality. The definitions are literate and indicate usage ('colloquial', etc.) Stress is correctly given. There is a good section for irregular verbs (strictly speaking a pure extra in a dictionary). Illustrative phrases, which often reveal the proper preposition or adverb associated with a verb, are frequent. I cannot speak to its "technical" vocabulary, for that is not the kind of Italian I read or speak.

I am highly impressed. This dictionary is cheap and fairly light. I believe that it would suffice on its own for most foreign readers of Italian.
