resource., March 12, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
This is unsurpassed for a pocket dictionary. I have found few
English/Croatian dictionaries to be as accurately translated or as in
depth. Not perfect, but highly recommended -- and easy to carry around
with you. |

Pocket Size Traveler, August 12, 2003
I also was in the region as a earlier poster puts it. With this
Croatian or Hrvatski dictionary if you please. Firstly this Croatian
dictionary is not favored to Serbian, this is blatantly untrue. As well
as the fact that the official script/text for Serbian is Cyrillic. The
earlier given example of bread as sensitive, which I checked in this
Croatian dictionary, clearly shows the word "Kruh" ,which is the correct
Croatian word for bread. In regards to lacking several words and
explanation of others, I also suspect this to be untrue, because the
earlier poster would be able to provide specific examples and clearly
failed to provide evidence of this. I found this Croatian dictionary
extremely thorough for its handy pocket size with over 30,000 entries. |

Insensitive
presentation, February 9, 2002
Reviewer: A reader
Since the breakup of Yugoslavia, the trend of Serbian and Croatian, or
Serbo-Croatian, if you please, has been conscious differentiation. The
lexicon is sensitive: words like "bread" "hleb" vs "kruh" are ethnically
charged. This dictionary has no accounting for that whatsoever and can
place the user in awkward positions. (As I experienced first-hand while
travelling in the area.) The dictionary favors the Serb variations.
Furthermore, the dictionary lacks several words and explanations of
others. This is a great brand for Western Languages, but is not at all
thorough enough for the sensitive speaker of Serbian and Croatian. |

September 24, 2000
This book is good for translating basic words and phrases. It is
difficult to learn conversational Bosnian from this book, but I can pick
out words. I work with a dozen or so Bosnians and they have helped me
with my pronunciation. Bosnian-Croatian-Sebian languages are difficult
to learn on your own. This book is convenient, my copy is very beat up
from carrying it around in my pocket forever. It would be in your best
interests to partner this book with a native speaker if available. |

Handy Reference, June 22, 2000
This is a very small, but very useful book. It contains basic words
for everyday communication. It also contains some short phrases/idioms. |
