German-English Pocket Dictionary: 70,000 words, phrases & examples (Barron's Pocket Bilingual Dictionaries)

Here is the size of the dictionary -- 6.25" x 3.875" x 1.5" -- now there is no excuse to complain about the size post-purchase. It is actually reasonably compact for a German-English dictionary with the extensive coverage of words and phrases. I bought it to take with me to Switzerland and Germany as well as to use at home while studying. If your interest is having something to squeeze into a pocket, look for a much less comprehensive dictionary. One nice feature was the downloadable German-English electronic dictionary. It even has very clear pronunciation of many German (and English) words that will help someone attempting to master speech. Being able to study using my computer and being able to look up definitions electronically I have found very handy. I have come to appreciate the large blue font used for the defined words, it makes it easy to locate words.

I love it that Barron’s puts a lot more effort into their dictionaries than others I’ve seen. I love the maps and grammar help that are a part of this volume. Very helpful. I don’t go anywhere without my Barron’s!

Would have been great but honestly didn't use it all and just used the Google translate app lol

book came in perfect condition... better than expected. arrived early too. great book, btw- great and essential companion to rosetta stone, memrise, and duolingo.

It's a bit large to carry around while traveling

Chose it as it was copyrighted in 2015.

One of the items in my picture fits in my pocket. I’ll give you a hint... it’s not the item with the word “pocket” printed on it.

It's full of English words and German words as expected.

Well…it’s a power house that’s packed into a small book that you need a large pocket for! What I found most intriguing is the fact that when you look up a word in the German to English section and compare the English meaning in the English to German section - the meaning or synonyms are different in German! Magical complexity of the language I would say!

I have been learning German for a couple months now and its great when I take this to school and I can whip it out to translate a word I don't know.

Great little dictionary but not exactly pocket size. 4 inches by 6 inches and a bit over one and a half inches thick. Weighs a little over a pound. 490 grams.
