 Muito Bem April 24, 2004

~I upgraded to the Larousse Concise Portuguese-English dictionary from a smaller, even more concise model issued by another publisher. Though it meant slightly more weight to lug around Brazil, I compensated by packing little clothing and benefited tremendously from my decision. I recommend this dictionary for its combination of pragmatic and colloquial entries (let's face it, some dictionaries can be downright prude) as well as academically inclined ones. All in all, this is a comprehensive and~~ easy to use dictionary whose reasonable heft (it's not pocket sized unless you're a kangaroo, but it's not too heavy either) is well offset by its scope and ease of use.~
 Larousse Portugues-Ingles Dictionary September 7, 2005

A great dictionary for portugues-ingles translations. Currently using for an advanced Portuguese class for which this dictionary is essential. Was using Harper-Collins which was not sufficient; additionally, the binding in the Harper-Collins hard-cover dictionary was pitiful and pages started falling out after less than a month of use. This dictionary is definitely the better of the two. Rated at 4 stars because some of the translations are not completely correct (with Brazilian use).

I took this pocket dictionary around Brazil with me. It is very complete and convenient. For most words it includes little contextual phrases. There's also a verb conjugation summary at the beginning.
This is the best Portuguese-English/English-Portuguese dictionary I have, even counting my larger ones. It's the best travel dictionary I know of.

"Incomplete" is the best word to describe this dictionary. I'm Brazilian, and for a native speaker this dictionary is far from "avancado" (meaning "advanced") as its Portuguese title suggests; incidentally in direct opposition to its English title: "Concise Dictionary." I bought it as an aid for a small translation project, and I am disappointed. It doesn't have words such as "mentoring" and "stewardship." I've had to revert to online searches, as I had started, in order to find an adequate translation for several words - a much more cumbersome method. If you need a truly advanced English/Portuguese Portuguese/English dictionary, keep looking; this is not it.

Larousse dictionaries are much, much better than any of the others. Bantam's are decent and Oxford's are ok, but you will get frustrated eventually if you are actually trying to speak the language. Their dictionaries for some reason seem very "regionally challenged." Only Larousse successfully includes a wide range of colloquialisms, is not afraid to publish the naughty words (which you will definitely hear), and manages to make the dictionary portable, readable, and affordable. I really like this dictionary.
