 It is the biggest German to english dictionary I could find February 28, 2008
The third word that I looked up in it was 'einzuatmen'. and the dictionary didn't have it. So I looked up the word on http://babelfish.altavista.com, it meant 'to inhale'. I might be just very unlucky to look up probably the only word that they missed while making it. All in all it is a decent sized Dictionary and well structured. I belive it will help me with my studies.
 The Ultimate Source September 26, 2007
I generally use online German-English dictionaries as sources for looking up new German words while I'm performing my computer based interactive German language course. However, when these online sources give meanings that don't seem to make sense or apply (and this is becoming more apparent as my level of German language skills increase); then I refer to the Collins Unabridged German-English Dictionary, 5th Edition as the ultimate source that always has the word meaning and other helpful information that I'm looking for.
 Errata in this dictionary September 22, 2007
1 out of 8 found this review helpful
I was very disappointed in the dictionary. On page 502 within the blue box in the middle
it has "... träumen in ihrer Lieder ... this should be Liedern ( dative plural). Errata in other books are not so serious - but in a reference book, particularily a dictionary, a mistake like this calls into question the accuracy of the whole dictionary!!! I liked it otherwise but I feel if there is one such basic error there could be more. I have returned it to Amazon.
The complete dictionary July 5, 2007

This is a fantastic dictionary! The incorporation of innumerable idiomatic and everyday phrases is very helpful. In addition, though this is a big dictionary, it is not as heavy as you may think. I highly recommend this lexicon to any German student at or above an intermediate level.
superb dictionary February 15, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am a foreign language teacher and did a huge search for a German dictionary to support my self-education in German. This is the only up to date German dictionary which is easy to read and beautifully designed. The blue ink used for the words in contrast with the black ink for the text makes this dictionary very easy to use. There is a center section with very useful information, for example how to set up a business letter, an informal note, salutations and greetings, etc. It is a large book, but I am confident after my research that there is nothing better on the market which has modern updates.
