 I LOVE this dictionary December 24, 2006

Contrary to the other review. I MUCH PREFER this dictionary to the Kiado dictionaries. This one includes many more usage suggestions and expressions SO KEY to figuring out hungarian. Plus it has 30,000 words where the Kiado has 19,000. Tall and skinny - OK to travel with.
 The dictionary is good but Hippocrene's printing should be avoided June 17, 2006

Akademiai Kiado's two English-Hungarian dictionaries, MAGYAR-ANGOL SZOTAR (ISBN 9630569434) and ANGOL-MAGYAR SZOTAR (ISBN 9630569426) are excellent concise dictionaries that are very suitable for students. Edited by Tamas Magay and Laszlo Kiss, the dictionaries are sold in bookshops in Hungary and are mainly focused at Hungarians. However, the editors were kind enough to make these entirely useful for English speakers. The Hungarian foreword has an English translation, the list of abbreviations has explanations in both English and Hungarian, and there's a layout of Hungarian speech sounds just for foreigners. MAGYAR-ANGOL SZOTAR contains three appendices. The first, a table of English irregular verbs, and the second, a short list of English irregular nouns, need not concern us. However, the third, conversions between metric and imperial weights and measures (and their English and Hungarian terminology) will prove quite useful for the foreigner travelling in Hungary.
Now Hippocrene has brought the English-Hungarian dictionary to the United States, but I'd recommend against getting it in this form. It is a poorly-made book, and is sized as a trade paperback annihilating the advantage that the original Hungarian printing had in its pocket size. Get the Hungarian print instead, which is durable (hardcovers with no dust cover) and insanely cheap (especially when bought on the spot). There's no better option for pocket dictionaries than that.
