Webster's New Spanish-English
Dictionary is a paperback easy to carry version that can fit easily into a Spanish student's
backpack, or even a Spanish-speaker student trying to learn English student's
backpack. It features Latin-American Spanish, Spanish to English, and English to Spanish. For example, you look up perro under the Spanish side, you see n. for noun, and the words, dog, for male dog and perra, bitch for female dog. You also see idioms, such as perro callente, hot dog, and perrera, nf, for noun feminine, and perrera, kennel in English. And vice versa, if you look on the English side under dog, you will find a pronunciation guide, n., and the Spanish word perro, and m. for male, with perra for female. Of course, if you look up the English word bitch, you will find perra, and the other Spanish words for the more derogatory meanings for the word bitch, as in the verb to complain, quejarse, reclamar. Of course, we all know bitch can also be used as a curse word, but I'm not going there! The
dictionary also contains some examples of conjugation of simple Spanish verbs ending in -ar,-er, and -ir, simple, and compound tenses. Also, it has examples of 92 irregular Spanish verb conjugations, and 159 irregular English verb conjugations. The book also contains a list of common Spanish abbreviations, and the English counterparts, and Spanish, and English cardinal, and ordinal numbers. Very handy for counting. It has 40,000 entries, and 50,000 translations, at 426 pages, yet it is still very compact. A must for any traveler, or language student.
