"Excellent source, best dictionary we've found"

Customer from Dayton, OH USA
We recently moved to Hungary and purchased this dictionary before
we moved. It's bulky but it still goes with us on all of our shopping
trips, especially for grocery shopping. We have two small children so
knowing ingredients is very important to me. There is very little
English spoken or written in our part of the country so this has
become our "go to" book. The Hungarian language has such a large
amount of words, you really need this larger dictionary. The small
travel dictionaries aren't enough. Helpful hint: Hungarians use lots of
suffixes when you can't find a word break up the syllables and look
for them and put them together. This usually is the key for the hard to
find words! Viszlat!
"An Amazing Dictionary"

I bought this dictionary before Christmas. I was amazed at how good
this book is. I already speak Hungarian fluently, but have lived in
Canada for 52 years, and forgot many words, so I just need something
to remind me, or to find words that I wasn't familiar with as a
teenager. I correspond with people in Hungary, and sometimes I can't
think of the word I'm trying to use. I found this dictionary useful in
this, as most words I am seeking are listed. There were a few I
couldn't find, such as decongestant, but that is not a big problem. For
students of either language, this is an excellent dictionary. There is a
brief pronunciation and grammar guide at the beginning of it. I am
very happy with it.

"Now, normally Hippocrene publishes these
concise (less than 10,000 translations) and
commercial (New Times Font, no idiom
mark-ings) dictionaries, surprisingly about many
of the world's less commonly studied languages.
This dictionary has to be one of the better
reference books published by Hippocrene which I
have ever come across. A good, handy dictionary
and very recommended!"
