I picked this little thing up after becoming tired of wanting to look up a word while I was out and about, and being unable to. Like my other Langenscheidt dictionaries, this one doesn't disappoint in the least. It's packed with words, considering its size, and while there aren't any example *sentences*, there are plenty of usage examples. My only real complaint is that while there are tons of them in the German - English section, the English - German is often lacking; looking up a verb will very often just give you 3 or 4 German verbs, with no indication as to how they're used or in what context.

Still, though, it's a fine little dictionary, even if it's a bit large for most standard pockets (it fits perfectly in my cargo pants show more pockets). Langenscheidt gets bonus points for using a rubber-like cover, which is bendable but extremely sturdy. show less
It's a dictionary, so there's not much that can be said about it as a review.
The layout is acceptable and considering I'm most likely using it to verify my own knowledge, I can't really call it out on any errors.
