5.0 out of 5 stars The Italian Dictionary I've been looking for 27 Dec 2012
By Tyke
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was influenced to buy Webster's Italian Dictionary by the customer reviews. I've also experienced the disintegration of Collins' dictionaries, although they're comprehensive and clearly printed. Websters is black and white with no highlighting colours, but this is no disadvantage - dictionaries aren't picture books. The vocabulary is extensive with over 100,000 contemporary words and phrases. There are examples of usage in different contexts, including idiomatic expressions. As I'm now trying to read novels in Italian, I needed a more extensive literary vocabulary. Websters' has contained most of the words and expressions I've looked up, many of which I couldn't find in either Collins or Oxford. In the English section, the spellings are English followed by the American spelling. I'm delighted with this dictionary, which is astonishing value for the price, and I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic Dictionary with One Small Caveat 21 Dec 2002
By J. Hoopes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm new to Italian. I'm studying the language in college. So I was looking for a good dictionary and this is a good one. It has quite a few idiomatic expressions in it as well as the standard definitions of words. My professor has had a few minor disagreements with the dictionary in regard to a couple of definitions. For example, her word for graceful is different than the one provided. But she didn't say the word the dictionary gave was wrong, just not as commonly used.

My one caveat is that this is actually a British-Italian dictionary; after all, it's printed in England. As an American, for the most part, that doesn't matter much. When you look up the Italian word, colore, you'll find the British spelling, colour. That's very minor. However, it does make a bit more different in the examples provided. Sometimes, when words are used in a sentence in this dictionary, the example is specific to England. For example, they'll use Pound Sterling in a sentence about money instead of dollars and Euros. Still not a big deal, but something you might want to be aware of. That may explain some of the differences my Italian professor had with the definitions of certain words.

But overall, a good basic Italian-English (with a British slant) dictionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Italian dictionary on the market! 4 Oct 2004
By Italophile - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In the three years that I have been studying and speaking Italian, this is the single best dictionary that I have come across. I have several others (Oxford, Langenscheidt's, etc.) which are all fine, but don't come close to the Websters. The Websters includes practical examples, idioms, verb conjugation and several other useful tools that really make it top notch.

I spent the better part of a year at a language school in Italy, and the Websters was invaluable. When I was preparing to return to the U.S., my instructors asked if I would leave them my copy!

I will concede that the Websters is too big for carrying on your travels, but if you are studying or corresponding with Italians, you simply cannot find a better dictionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great choice for autodidacts 28 July 2006
By Charles S. Houser - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I chose this Italian-English/English-Italian dictionary over the others I was able to examine in a bricks-and-mortar store because (1) the print was crisp, clear, and larger than that of the mass-market size paperback dictionaries, (2) the paper is a higher-quality free sheet that won't yellow with age (dictionaries are the kinds of books you tend to hold on to for many years), (3) at 5 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches it is portable and fits nicely in my backpack, (4) the book lies open nicely and is not pinched in the gutter, (5) it covers a very generous 100K+ words and phrases, and (6) it was the only dictionary in its price category that had an easy-to-decipher pronunciation guide for the Italian terms. As someone who is trying to teach himself Italian, the latter point is very important to me. Io molto contento!
