Summary: Once You Get Accustomed, Using CD Rom Dictionaries is Easy and Efficient.
Comment: I purchased this cd-rom dictionary to replace a very old Spanish dictionary - with no computer terms, no less !! I had never used a CD-rom dictionary before. The content are superior - including both South American and Spanish Spanish terms. Also, it includes many useful technical terms in a range of fields. You can quickly get used to the CD-rom approach to looking up words - and even phrases. Both into and from Spanish are easy. Also the nice thing is that associated words appear alongside. I am a longtime Spanish scholar and have been reading Spanish for over 40 years. This is the best dictionary I have had so far.

Summary: poor search engine
Comment: took a paper dictionary and converted it directlly to digital. poor seach engin.
couldn't use for verb tenses, a franklin electronic dictionary has more use. Taking a rosetta stone course and half the words I would look up the dictionary would not find, or not defined in a simalar manner. Used my wifes five year old franklin and it understood the rosetta stone words . Returned it hope I get money back

Summary: What pronunciation for Spanish words???
Comment: This dictionary does have an enormous vocabulary, verb tenses and other nuances of the Spanish language...which is great.
WHAT IT DOES NOT CONTAIN IS A SYSTEM OF PRONUNCIATION FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL SPANISH WORD. It does give the information for pronouncing the English words which was little use for me as a native speaker of the English language.
I am just learning Spanish and need a dictionary which tells me how to pronounce the Spanish words. This does not.

Summary: LaRousse or Oxford ?
Comment: After using La Rousse for a long time i recommend Oxford without hesitation.
Almost all words I could not find in Larousse I found here. Plus the arrangement is far superior.
Also the absence of stupid letter cut-offs in Oxford is pleasing and choice of the type of paper is excellent.
Unlike in Larousse the rendering of vulgarisms is much more tasteful without causing nausea with the preserved accuracy. Who knows LaRousse knows what I am talking about.
Like in La Rousse I wonder why the editors do not separate English and Spanish part into two separate volumes
and so make the usage of this large dictionary more convenient.
