No matter which of these languages you're studying, these Webster's dictionaries are sure to fit your needs. The dictionaries feature concise, easy-to-read definitions. Parts of speech and variants are labeled. The number of entries varies depending on the language. For example, the Spanish and French dictionaries have over 100,000 translations and 80,000 entry words and phrases. The Chinese dictionary has 25,000 translations and 20,000 entry words and phrases. (The Chinese characters with pinyun spellings take up more room on the pages than the European languages. Sample sentences are used more abundantly, too.) All of the dictionaries have helpful reference sections with explanatory notes, pronunciation information, verb conjugations, and more. Approx. 740 pgs, pb. ~ Lisa
