4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but imperfect. Bona, sed ne perfekta. 21 July 1999
By "montrealais" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This dictionary serves well as a standard reference work. The grammar at the beginning is surprisingly useful. However, one major problem is that it often fails to explain the differences between Esperanto words which translate different senses of English words. This makes life difficult for a learner. It is also a bit dated. Also, advanced translators may wish to avail themselves of the more unabridged Comprehensive English-Esperanto Dictionary, by Benson.

Chi tiu vortaro servas bone kiel baza kontrolverko. La gramatiko en la komenco de la libro estas surprize utila. Tamen, unu grava misajho estas ke ghi ofte mankas eksplikon de la malsamoj inter Esperantaj vortoj kiuj tradukas malsamajn sencojn de anglaj vortoj. Tiu chi komplikas la vivon de lernanto. Ghi ankau estas iom ekstermoda. Ankau, pli antauenighintaj tradukistoj vershajne volos uzi la pli vastan Comprehensive English-Esperanto Dictionary, de Benson.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful title for beginners and experts alike 27 April 2000
By Joseph Dietrich - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This dictionary is one of the most helpful guides to any language that I have ever read. The Advice to the Student of Esperanto section was very helpful as were the lists of correlatives, prefixes, and suffixes; I often find myself referring to them. Overall, this is a wonderful guide, no one studying Esperanto should be without one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best general Esperanto <-> English Dictionary 17 Feb 2003
By "dacxjo" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This dictionary has been around for a while. It is what introduced me to Esperanto over 20 years ago.

When I first received it (as a gift), I noticed that it had a grammar section in the front. The explanations were good enough that I was able to make basic sentences almost immediately! When I finally decided to learn a little more formally, the grammar summary was an awesome reference.

The Dictionary itself is very good. My only problem with this and all two-way dictionaries is that sometimes a translation of a word is not enough... you need an actual definition. For that, I'm afraid one would have to use an actual Esperanto (only) dictionary with word and definition in Esperanto, such as "Plena Ilustrita Vortaro" or better yet, "Plena Vortaro de Esperanto Kun Suplemento".

I believe this to be the best two way Esperanto and English dictionary.
