Best thing to have in your pocket in Copenhagen (besides a condom)

Hey, I am out and proud AND this dictionary got me through the day quite well! It helped me land a Job and a possible husband!!!!

Small but functional

I was surprised that this itty-bitty dictionary had so many words in it! Also, it has a small grammar section and a few helpful quick-reference sections (such as ordering in a restaurant). This dictionary is helpful for when I'm chatting online with my Danish friends and need to look up a word that isn't in my vocabulary yet. Eventually though, I plan to purchase those big red Engelsk-Dansk/Danish-English dictionaries! That will have to wait until after I am out of college though.

The Best of a Slim Selection, but Only for Starting Out

I bought this dictionary prior to heading to Copenhagen for a month to work. It was helpful as a pocket reference for store-front signs and very basic reading vocabulary, but the biggest thing to recommend it, apart from the low price, is the fact that there aren't many alternatives here. With Berlitz, you get 12,000 terms in each language, which will get you around town but not help much with words that have even the slightest disciplinary specificity or currency to them (the word 'e-mail,' for example, is absent, as are many other words that have seeped into everyday use, and this might be due to this dictionary's not having been updated since 1994).The good things about this dictionary are its pronunciation guide (this is actually much more than a good thing, as even more thorough dictionaries I saw in Denmark didn't have this) and its handy reference pages, which give you the quick run-down on how to tell time, for example, or read a menu. In this way, it feels like a guide for beginning learners of the language or tourists. There's nothing wrong with that, but Berlitz ought to indicate this on the cover.It's a good dictionary for the price, and it's perfectly suited to beginning learners of Danish and for short travels. If you plan on using it as a reference guide for reading or for more advanced Danish, you'd do well to look further.

This Dictionary Is Wonderful

The Berlitz Danish-English Dictionary is a great tool to have. It is easy to use, with its accurate easy to find information. I would recomend it to anyone.

A necessary "hard-to-find" item for the Danish Traveler!

Berlitz is the best, and was I ever happy to FINALLY find this book!! It's nicely compact and has everything you could possibly want in a foreign language dictionary. Very well laid out,with great pronunciation guides as well, especially helpful with such a difficult language as Danish. An added plus in the very back are numbers, time, days of the week & conversion tables. THE BEST!!
