The Oxford Spanish English Dictionary - A Review

The Oxford Spanish English Dictionary is one of the higher selling dictionaries from the Oxford line of Spanish dictionaries.

The Oxford University Press, the world's largest university press, has always been dedicated to providing top quality language dictionaries. The Oxford Spanish-English dictionary is no different.

The Oxford Spanish Dictionary was published in 2003 and contains over 2000 pages and according to the Oxford University Press website, this dictionary has the following features:

  • Up-to-the minute information on the cultures of the English and Spanish-speaking worlds, including a new section on the Euro
  • In-text boxes that provide detailed guidance on grammar and usage American English throughout, with British English alternatives given where relevant
  • Over 300,000 words and phrases and over 480,000 translations that provide comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of Spanish and English
  • An extended guide to effective communication, including a wealth of model letters offering help with a wide range of topics from compiling job applications to booking hotel rooms

Now, I personally have never owned a Oxford Spanish dictionary, but some of the other Oxford language dictionaries I have looked at have left some things to be desired. One of the best ways to judge a a dictionary, though, is to look at the reviews of the dictionary on Amazon.com. In the case of this particular dictionary, most people give it really good reviews so it most likely is going to be a good buy.
