Title: All but Useless
Review: As other reviewers have mentioned, the most annoying problem with this dictionary is its limited vocabulary. The cover boasts 30,000 vocabulary entries, but they are most certainly not sufficient for anyone who wishes to communicate successfully in German. It is designed to be easy-to-read, with larger-than-normal print and plenty of white space, but I rather wish they had made the text a couple of sizes smaller and filled the extra space with useful vocabulary. It's also rather silly to give childish phonetic pronunciations for every word in the dictionary, since German is, in most cases, very phonetic and easy to pronounce in the first place. Conspicuously absent is some sort of section on irregular verb conjugation, such as can be found in many other similar dictionaries.
