4/14/2023 0 Comments German words in english dictionary![]() It’s important to read through the introduction of the dictionaries you’re considering. Examples include: Langenscheidt’s Standard German Dictionary with 130,000 references Oxford German Dictionary offering 320,000 words with 520,000 translations, or Collins German Unabridged Dictionary with over 900,000 entries in the two languages. Serious students and researchers are better served by a standard, hardcover dictionary comprised of at least 150,000 to 300,000 entries in each language and prefaced with a clear outline of the system of entries and information that it contains. Novice readers soon become advanced ones and become frustrated with limited resources. Pocket dictionaries with 50,000 to 70,000 entries are handy for carrying around and looking up common items, but are stopgaps with drawbacks: lack of clarity (caused by small print and other space-saving approaches) and a lack of completeness. Since it’s difficult to recommend a single “one-size-fits-all” tool, you’ll want to consider a number of dictionaries of each variety before settling on the best one(s) for your purposes. Contemporary dictionary resources come in three forms: paper, online, and electronic. Finding the right dictionary for your purposes and learning to use it effectively are key to accurate translating, reading, and researching in German.
