Collins German Concise Dictionary

This has got to be my favorite German-English Dictionary out there, or at least, the Harper-Collins series dictionaries are. I love the College dictionary, but this one is pretty great. I would recommend the newer editions, but still, if you can find a great price on this one, I'd take advantage of it. Has simple layout and extremely useful Grammar and Verb section in the back! What a deal! -Dr. Kenneth

I bought this dictionary when I first started learning German. I've been studying German for years and still use it. I still turn to this book first when looking for answers. This book will not teach you German. It is a dictionary, a very good one.

I am a German instructor for adults working in the automotive industry. My students really appreciate this dictionary, especially the grammar section! Harper Collins dictionaries are always good for translators, but this one is perfect for intermediate-advanced students who also need a grammar reference. Great dictionary. I carry it with me when I'm teaching!

After taking over a year of German language classes, I decided to buy a good German dictionary that had everything in it that I frequently needed to look up (besides just word translations). This dictionary was the best. The best part is the huge grammar section in the back. It had everything I wanted, in bigger print than most other dictionaries. Look up "fand" and it says "finden". The only downfall is that it doesn't list all the verb tenses for irregular verbs when you look them up, but it compensates somewhat with a pretty good verb table in the back grammar section. The only dictionary that gives all the tenses right away is Harrap's, but it has excruciatingly small print.
