5.0 out of 5 stars Best English / Czech dictionary I've seen, 2 Mar 2002

By	Lozatron (West London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: English-Czech and Czech-English Dictionary: Thumb Index (Hardcover)

This is the best Czech / English dictionary I've found - it includes things like verb models gender which aren't in cheaper dictionaries and are absolutely 100% vital for learning the language.

If you've learned French of German, you might expect Czech / English dictionaries to be of a higher standard - but in fact there's an awful lot of tat out there, and the majority are very much designed for a Czech person learning English, rather than the other way round. This is important because some things are simple in English and complex in Czech - and some the other way round (for example - Czech has about 16 words for 'bring').

If you are serious about learning the language this is, as far as I know, the best available dictionary...

5.0 out of 5 stars Without doubt, the best dictionary for students of Czech., 26 July 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: English-Czech and Czech-English Dictionary: Thumb Index (Hardcover)

As a student of Czech in the United States, I looked and looked for a quality dictionary that provided a lot of the "standard" things you would find in other dictionaries. This was not the case for most readily available dictionaries in the US. The one I was issued was printed in the 1960's and did not have some of the basic things you would expect, such as gender of the noun (very important).

After looking at this dictionary, I knew it was the one to get. It is well organized (although, some the manner that words are separted sometimes blends with the bolded words within the definitions) and simple to use. It has a super section on declinsion of words (words are referenced to a particular declinsion pattern) and conjugation of verbs. Examples for use of the words in context are very useful and well chosen.

Get this book if you really want to learn/study Czech.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good dictionary which could be better, 9 Nov 2003

By	Bruce Wilson (Guildford, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: English-Czech and Czech-English Dictionary: Thumb Index (Hardcover)

Like other reviewers I rate this dictionary highly. As my study of the language has progressed, I have found one major drawback. In order to get a proper command of the use of verbs it is necessary to know both know both aspects of the verb. This dictionary does not
link the two. This is highly irritating for an English learner of Czech. I have been told that the Czech-English dictionary by Poldauf
does link the two forms. I am going to buy one of these, when I can find one.
