Periplus Pocket Vietnamese Dictionary: Vietnamese-English English-Vietnamese (Revised and Expanded Edition)

I have just started learning Vietnamese, which is not an easy language, and this little dictionary is excellent. It has all the commonly used works. Good for starters.

Great Product

Some of the words are not as accurately translated as I had hoped. Still had to have a native speaker to translate accurately many words.

This book is concised and to the point. It is a perfect dictionary for day-to-day conversation. I am a native speaker living in the United States for over 25 years. My Vietnamese is rusty and, therefore, having a hard time expressing my ideas in conversations. This book helped me because it has practical words that I can use right a way. This is a must have for everyone. Thank you! (I suggest to also get The Oxford Picture Dictionary: English-Vietnamese addition.)

This dictionary is adequate, but only shows single words...not common phrases. I have used it to narrow down the pronunciation of words from my Pimsleur language program, but will opt for another guide for actual travel. It is, however, worth it's minimal cost.

Honestly, I can't speak more than a few words of Vietnamese--and I'm probably not doing that right! =P But my friend is Vietnamese, and she loved this book! She was born in America, so she doesn't speak Vietnamese fluently, but she's really close. And whenever she forgets something while talking to her parents or other family members, she goes straight to this book. =) And, although I don't speak Vietnamese, I own this book and try to talk to her using it. =S Once again, not very well. Haha. ^.^ But it is a very useful book!

I work in a nail shop with a lot of Vietamese people. Since I don't speak the language (as it is a hard one to learn), This English - Vietnamese pocket dictionary allows me to get my point across when needed. It fits readily in the side pocket of my purse thus I have access to it at any time.

I use it everyday. It’s so handy. Definitely helping me to learn to speak and read Vietnamese

ＴＵＴＴＬＥ社のコンサイスと比べれば、語数が少ないながらも、英語からベトナム語を引くのが、非常に引きやすく、お奨め。３０００語の見出しだけど、５０００語くらいになれば、もっと使い勝手が良くなるのでは。或いは例文を増やすとか。惜しい。

Sent to my friend as a gift for her trip to Vietnam. She was quite pleased with it.

more vietnamese dictionary/word books please!

Good quality

収録語数3000語とありますが、viet-anhがそれくらいでanh-vietはそれよりもちょっと少ない。word to wordの情報しかなく学習用にはあまりむかないと思いますが、なんといっても薄くて軽いので持ち運びには便利です。ベトナム語は電子辞書に良いものがないので、現状ではこういうポケット版の辞書を持ち歩くのが現実的だと思います。ま、なんといっても安いし
