Summary: Larousse Portuguese English concise dictionary
Comment: This dictionary is very useful. As indicated in other reviews the binding is less than great. The strong point of this dictionary is that it includes many phrases related to the word that you are looking up.

Summary: THE BES DICTIONARY
Comment: WHEN PONE IS LEARNING OTHER LANGUAGES, LAROUSSE CANNOT BE BEAT. THEIR DEFINITIONS ARE CONCISE.

Summary: Very useful
Comment: I have been using this dictionary and the Harper Collins Portuguese Concise Dictionary in translation work over the last six months or so. Together, they are quite serviceable. Harper Collins is definitely easier to read, as it is printed on white paper, as opposed to the newsprint Larousse uses. Larousse, however, includes verb tables, while Harper Collins has no such amenity. Larousse also has a section in the middle with cultural and communication information. In my experience with many languages, including Portuguese, no one dictionary has proven perfectly satisfactory for all purposes, so I recommend getting both Larousse and Harper Collins, and for easier reference to the vast array of sometimes quirky verb forms, add 501 Portuguese Verbs.

Summary: Really Good Reference
Comment: I used this dictionary for my beginning Portuguese class, and was very happy with it. More often than not,I was able to find words in this dictionary that my classmates could not find in theirs. It's a little bulky, and probably not good for traveling (too big to put in a regular sized purse), but when I travel to Brazil in a few weeks I will use this dictionary for my classes, and then buy the pocket size for when I am out on the street.

Comment: My students in an adult ESL class find this dictionary indispensable when working in class or on their own. It is reasonably priced and contains most of what they need.
