Ordering a second copy

When I decided to learn Spanish I asked advice from a bilingual friend who goes to my church. She recommended this book. It has been great. Now, my son needs a Spanish/English English/Spanish dictionary for school. I'm ordering one for him, not only because it's easy to read and understand the way El Espanol congugates verbs and the words change from masculine to feminine, but because it's a great size to carry around.

great bilingual dictionary! One of the best!

I first purchased this book for a young teenager that I tutor. It turned out to be one of the best gifts I could give him, toward encouraging him in his education and his increased proficiency in the Spanish language. Not only is it packed full of useful vocabulary, but it has a wonderful section devoted solely to practical knowledge about the various Latin American countries and their cultures. There is a list of all major Latino holidays, instructions on how to compose an email in Spanish, listings of country capitals and currency, and useful governmental vocabulary. It also included games to improve your proficiency. I reccomend this dictionary because it not only makes learnig Spanish easier, but it makes it more fun!!!!! Perfect for travellers and those who aspire to become bilingual.
