Product Description
Review
"I have been a loyal user of Oxford dictionaries since my school days. In my current position as press attach at the German Embassy, I use the Oxford-Duden German Dictionary every morning to decipher the artfully crafted and pointed headlines of the British newspapers for the press review which I prepare every morning for the Ausw rtiges Amt (Foreign Office) in Berlin."--Michael Fluegger, Press Attach , German Embassy, London
Product Description
This is a major new edition of the acclaimed Oxford-Duden German Dictionary, the result of a unique collaboration between two of the world's foremost dictionary publishers - Oxford University Press and the Dudenverlag. It has been completely updated to include the very latest vocabulary, with over 3,000 new words in each language, including blogger, destination wedding, and oxygen bar. Language is now studied in the context of its culture, so this new edition now includes cultural notes, providing interesting and helpful information on life in the German-speaking world. In addition, there are boxed notes offering help with language usage and construction, and a revised and updated centre section on correspondence. This includes sample letters, CVs, and emails, and new sections on text messaging and using the telephone, and has been reorganized to make the information more accessible. The design has been transformed by the use of colour and a new ultra-clear layout, making this dictionary easier than ever to use. It is an essential reference tool for all serious students of German at university level and beyond, and for those who need an authoritative and comprehensive guide to German. The dictionary comes with the ultimate pronunciation guide: a FREE CD-ROM that enables you to type in a word or phrase, or paste in text from the web, and hear it spoken back to you in perfect German.

This dictionary is, simply put, superb. It covers a staggering range of words and compounds, it gives really thorough information about the grammar of most words listed (such as collocations, prepositions that go with verbs or adjetives and so on) so it is really what any learner who is beyond the beginner stage will need.
Also, a lot of examples are given, with the most usual idioms, sentences, etc.
Finally, the layout and the use of the blue colour are useful, and it seems to help somehow look for headwords more quickly.
I can't but recommend this dictionary to anyone learning German; dictionaries, particularly this large, are a must for people wishing to learn a language in a serious way, because not only do they give information about the translation of a particular word, but also how different phrases or sentences are translated, and how a word that goes in a particular sentence in English may not be translated with its usual translation in the quivalent sentence in German.
This dictionary, I must insist, fulfils all of these needs, and the price is OK for a dictionary of this kind and quality.

This is a great book once you are beyond the initial stages of learning German. Plenty of examples to show how a word is used in practice.

Still waiting with bated breath that this item will arrive before Christmas as it is a special present to my son.
Once we hopefully receive it, be glad to provide a reveiw.
