Great little dictionary
I wanted a dictionary that would be a great size to have by my side while I read books, in case I need to look up a word. This dictionary fits the bill perfectly. About the size of a mass market paperback, this dictionary is easy to hold and look through, compared to a larger, more unwieldy dictionary. I have only had a word or two that I could not find in it so far...and there are many other ...

Great little pocket dictionary for those who don't want to carry around a heavier full-sized eng/span diction. It's not 'quite' as complete, but it's about 99% there. It's going to have all of the important words

501 Spanish Verbs: with CD-ROM (Barron's Foreign Language Guides)238 reviews
Christopher Kendris, Theodore Kendris
Barron's Educational Series, 2007
Spanish 501 verbs has been Very Helpful
I am currently in intermediate Spanish 1 and i have used this book almost every day since i received it. It's not only a good reference for looking up verbs but a tool to learn about the different Spanish tenses. There is a section in the beginning that lays out what every tense should be used for and how to form them. I like the book a lot, it is well worth the fourteen dollars i paid for it.

Very Detailed
So far my husband and I have found this book to be very helpful, we have only had it a month and are both taking medical terminology. He's taking the class for a biology degree, and I'm taking the class for massage therapy. Every time we have looked up a word, it has been there. If it needs a picture, there is one. It always gives you the root word with prefix and suffix separated and what ...

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition 35 reviews
Houghton Mifflin, 2006
The Dictionary Dilemma Is Over
This dictionary is a gem for use at school, at home, at work. The color plates make this particular dictionary reader-friendly to any age from 12 years and older. The entries are complete enough for use by a sophisticated reader, but yet in language that is understandable to a younger reader. I have used lots of different dictionaries in the classroom over the years, and this one is certainly ...

American Accent Training (Book and Audio CD, 2nd Edition)81 reviews
Ann Cook
Barron's Educational Series, 2000
Necessary for all non-native English speakers - but you still might have an accent - here's why
This superb book and CD series is excellent and I use this for my ESL students. However, many are stating that they still have their accent. Granted, for many of my students, they are just beginning their English studies.
An accent is a very difficult thing to overcome.
However, I believe this book is commonly used in 'accent reduction' training, meaning, that it can help reduce the ...

Federal Street Press, 2003
My go-to book for Spanish definitions and translation
I have 5 or 6 Spanish dictionaries and this has become #1. It has the most words for everyday usage and it is easy to tote around. I was tired of not finding the word I was looking for in the other dictionaries, and that's how this one became my favorite (it usually had the word I was looking for).
Just for kicks, if anyone wants the most heavy-duty Spanish dictionary try Harper Collins ...

Very complete
I have been using this book in my college Arabic classes three years now. It is an excellent book and is very complete. The DVDs supplement the book nicely. It would be almost impossible not to be able to learn the Arabic alphabet and some basic vocabulary with this book. The problem I have with using it for my classes is that you have to complete 7 of the 10 chapters before knowing all the ...
