Customer Reviews

comprehensive but not user friendly

There's nothing exceptionally wrong with the dictionary, it's just not user friendly, and takes time to get used to.It quite comprehensive, but has some terms missing, especially newer or more colloquial ones.It's main drawback is that it pushes many terms as subterms of a 'main' word, so you don't always find a word where you expect it to be.On the other hand it has a rich set of very good examples and pragmatic experssions. This is especially useful with words that are used differently in Dutch (compared to English).In summary, this is actually quite good a dictionary, you just have to get used to it.
