Langenscheidts Schulwörterbuch Englisch

Meer over het boek

Weighing only 370 grams and half the size of a small notebook, this compact dictionary is packed with knowledge. It addresses many questions students have from their third year of study, such as the translation of "mobile phone" or the meaning of "BO." With 55,000 carefully selected entries and practical warnings, it helps avoid common mistakes. Additionally, information boxes provide valuable insights into vocabulary and cultural context, covering topics like "friend" and "girlfriend" or "check-in" at the airport. The initial pages clearly explain how to use the dictionary, including stress accents and the differences between American and British English. However, it reaches its limits at higher educational levels, as it cannot answer all relevant questions. Some contemporary terms like "embedded journalist" or "green card" are missing, and minor translation inaccuracies become more apparent with advanced knowledge, such as translating "text message" as "text message" instead of "SMS." Overall, it is a recommended and affordable companion for lessons and homework, helping to avoid major errors.
