Hyvä, perussanaston sisältävä sanakirja. Kirja on julkaistu ensimmäistä kertaa jo 80-luvulla, joten jonkin verran sanasto on voinut vanhentua. Joka tapauksessa kirjasta löytää tarvitsemansa sanan neljä kertaa viidestä, joten hyödyllinen opus.

Mostly a very reliable dictionary, though of course there's always a word or two missing, as with any dictionary.

Stimolanti e apprezzabili gli spunti su come si può show more configurare il lavorodi chi insegna, a tradurre per esempio, ma non solo. show less
