Overview

Designed to meet the needs of students at all levels, as well as those of tourists and business people, it is a complete and handy reference to the Spanish language. Over 100,000 words, phrases and translations provide extensive coverage and up-to-the-minute vocabulary. Frequently used words are given a special layout with usage notes throughout the dictionary and new warning symbols make slang and informal words and expressions instantly identifiable.

The Grammar section offers a comprehensive and easy-to-use guide covering the construction of the language--including explanations of modern usage and grammar; information on the differences between spoken and written Spanish (with helpful examples taken from everyday speech, newspapers, and magazines); coverage of Latin American Spanish; separate sections on word order, prepositions, punctuation, and colloquial and technical words; and an extensive glossary and full index.

For those just learning Spanish or those fine-tuning their language skills, this is an essential resource.
