3.0 out of 5 stars a good practical dictionary for the visitor 10 April 2005
By Zeugnis
Format:Paperback
This 'Practical' dictionary does exactly what it says on the cover. It provides useful basic vocabulary Afrikaans-English and English-Afrikaans. It would be very useful to a visitor to South Africa who has little knowledge of Afrikaans. It contains a useful section on Acronyms. However, unlike Oxford or Collins Pocket dictionaries, the Hippocrene dictionary will not easily fit into the pocket (its almost A5 size). Further, and as one should expect of a dictionary with 372 pages of relatively large type, the treatment is practical. Learners of Afrikaans who have materials with an an Afrikaans-English wordlist are unlikely to find this dictionary a worthwhile investement. For those with a basic knowledge of Dutch or Afrikaans who are looking for a dictionary to assist reading, this is not a reference dictionary; more often than not this dictionary will lack the words looked for. A good practical dictionary. No more, no less.

This a a good dictionary for anybody trying to learn Afrikaans. It's well set out and has nice clear print for anybody trying to understand this rather tricky language.

3.0 out of 5 stars Use it for Afrikaans - English, but not the other way around 28 Jan 2003
By Julie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I was really excited when I bought this book. Seeing an opportunity to really expand my ability to speak Afrikaans, a "woordeboek" seemed to be exactly what I needed. However, based on the response I get from my fiance, who is a native Afrikaans speaker, I would probably not buy this book again. Many times, when I use a word from the book, he's never even heard of it, and gives me the correct Afrikaans word. He feels that this book was probably written by a native Dutch speaker, being that Dutch and Afrikaans are very similar, but with some distinct differences. I find it still helpful for any words I encounter in Afrikaans that I need translated into English, but as a reference for translating from English into Afrikaans, it's proven decidedly lacking.
