With over 45,000 words and phrases, this is the most comprehensive and authoritative Spanish minidictionary available today. Ideal for both students and tourists, this up-to-date bilingual dictionary is especially designed to meet the needs of both English and Spanish speakers in the 1990s.
In addition to wide-ranging and current coverage of the vocabulary of everyday life, the dictionary is packed with example sentences and idiomatic phrases showing words in use, and includes the core vocabulary of Latin American Spanish, common abbreviations, and irregular plurals and past tenses. Pronunciation is made simple with the standard international phonetic alphabet, which guides the user through even the most idiosyncratic words. Small enough for pocket, purse, or backpack, the Oxford Spanish Minidictionary is a must for anyone learning or using a language growing ever-more in importance on an international level.
