 Nice, but disproportionate English-Hebrew section November 16, 2008
B. J. Geza (Szeged, Hungary)
I agree with the previous reviewer who wrote that the writers of this dictionary had the Israeli native learning English in mind when creating it.
Pros:
-Vowel dots throughout
-Wide range of subjects
Cons:
-English-Hebrew section way larger compared to the Hebrew-English
-English section has quite a lot of abbreviations, for example FYI, without giving the reader the key in English (in this case, for example 'for your information')
-English section lacks many country and ethnic names
-No Hebrew grammar explanation (only that of English)
-Print size sometimes seems too small to read comfortably
-This edition is more than 10 years old by now, therefore you can't find recently popularized terms in it (like 'cell phone' or 'global warming')
Overall it's good, but could have been better made and needs to be updated.

I would have liked a larger font and, it would be great also, if the dictionary gave the gender of all nouns. Otherwise, this is a functional reference.
oxford hebrew dictionary review April 6, 2008
Winqvist Martin
A good dictionary, But only if you are hebrew speaking this is not for beginners in the hebrew language. But good if you know how to read and speak hebrew.

I received the correct item in excellent time; however, although it was packaged well, the book corners were crimped and bent and the spine of the book was coming unglued making this a book that will fall apart with very little use.

I am an English speaker and have used the Oxford EN/HE dictionary extensively in both "directions" over the years. I have found it extremely useful. It holds a very comprehensive collection of words and expressions, covering all areas of modern Hebrew from the elevated language found in Ha'Aretz and Amos Oz to the everyday language heard on the street. All Hebrew is written with nikud (vowels), which is essential for correct pronunciation. Synonyms are usually given to distinguish among multiple translations. Phrases are listed under their key words, making them easy to find. Finally, Hebrew words are listed under all their currently used spellings (usually, with & without the extra vavs and yuds given to replace vowels).
This dictionary looks even better in comparison with its absolutely pitiful competition. Every other dictionary I have seen in this size has been severely lacking.
