General Spanish Dictionaries
Harper Collins Spanish
Unabridged Dictionary
This dictionary sets a standard in Spanish-English
lexicography. It treats the most frequently used words in both
languages in detail, helping the reader not
only to understand, but also to translate idiomatically.
This dictionary also includes
uniquely helpful cultural notes about life and institutions in
Spanish- and English-speaking countries.
Specifically, the text
includes a comprehensive, unabridged range of entries, which
encompass cross-referencing,
phonetic spellings, and complete definitions.
It additionally provides
a thorough summary of Spanish and English grammar, with tables
of irregular verbs, as well as addressing issues of usage
with both clarity and sensitivity.
In this latter regard, the dictionary excels.
It contains extensive notes on cultural topics, and it also provides
country-specific guidelines for using regular
Spanish and Spanish slang in Latin American countries.
Going a step further, it contains an elegant
section on business writing style in both English and
Spanish, a feature which helps users write with a semblance of
social grace, determine how to phrase a job application
letter, make sense of pronouncing an e-mail address, and draft
an official apology.
