great dictionary with many features
18 Mar 2007
This dictionary is a great resource, covering contemporary English and Italian. The word list and examples in the Italian-English section are backed by the work involved in preparing the Italian dictionaries edited by Tullio De Mauro and published by Paravia in 2000. It is matched with the Oxford University Press word list and examples. In both Italian-English and English-Italian sections, a triangle marks the 7,000 core words of the language. The most frequent 3,000 words are marked with a black triangle and the next most frequent 4,000 words are marked with a white triangle. The explanatory chart just inside the cover is an easy to find and use resource, provided in English behind the front cover and in Italian at the back cover. The middle section has many useful examples, such as "Condoglianze (formal)" in an English format on the left page and "Condolences: formal" in an Italian format on the right page.
My wife and I are taking Italian classes to prepare for a summer trip. It's a big, heavy book, so we don't move it from the desk where we work. We refer to this book frequently as we progress through our class.

This dictionary is not on par with other Oxford language dictionaries
23 Jan 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
Being an American, I found it difficult to understand the British English translations. I was also disappointed that there aren't as many entries under the main word like there are in the Oxford French and German dictionary, but the Oxford Italian dictionary from Amazon is much more expensive ($43.55) than the others. Even though it costs more, it is much smaller than Oxford's French and German dictionary, the pages are very thin, and the binding is bad. I had to have the dictionary replaced twice, because the binding separated from the backing. The third time I sent it back, Amazon's customer service emailed me that this was a persistent problem with this dictionary and that the company was not going to send a replacement. Meanwhile, I'm using Webster's New World Italian dictionary which is excellent for a paperback.

Great tool for English & Italian

It's not only a great dictionary for translation but also a very good source of information about meanings and usage of the language. This is a must have for every italian student.
