Summary: This is an awful awful dictionary
Comment: I'm in my first year of studying Dutch at university and after 4 months I have totally given up on this dictionary. Myself, all my classmates and my teacher all think this dictionary is absolutely rubbish. I know that there's not a lot of choice around in terms of an English-Dutch Dutch-English dictionary for English native speakers so it could be that this is the best of a bad bunch. But saying that, this dictionary is missing quite a lot of fairly basic vocabulary; it's very scant on the grammar (for example, it doesn't tell you whether a verb is separable or not); it lists words under one definition usually with hardly any reference to any differences or nuances in meaning. I could go on....
I suppose this dictionary is generally OK if you simply want to translate from Dutch to English, but if you want to translate English to Dutch then this dictionary ain't much use I'm afraid. I speak from experience as a very frustrated student.

Summary: Very good all-round coverage
Comment: I am a professional translator. My knowledge of Dutch is very sketchy, but on the basis of German plus this dictionary I can get an accurate and clear understanding over 95% of the time. A lot of dictionaries that are much larger don't give these sorts of results. Obviously is doesn't do that much technical stuff, but as a companion to normal everyday educated language it is excellent.

Summary: Pretty good. Some missing words though!
Comment: I know dutch is complex langauge so I can't really fault this book. Most of the words are there: but you need to know some dutch grammer before you can figure out a lot of them. But then some seem to missing: look up 'already' in English and it says the Dutch is 'reeds', but 'reeds' isn't listed in the Dutch end. I found this a bit annoying. But overall, very good dictionary.

Summary: great
Comment: this dictionary is excellent for the beginner and the advanced learner! it has regular, irregular, plurals, examples, context and lots and lots of entries. this is quite honestly a great dictionary for your average british learner, and i've found no end of use from it!

Summary: The best short dictionary around
Comment: I've bought or checked out quite a few Dutch dictionaries in the past year and this is easily the best. It's very up to date (just published back in January this year) with many modern terms. I noticed Van Dale quoted on the back so I wonder if Routledge get their source data from them. For those not familiar with Van Dale, they're the Dutch equivalent of the Oxford English Dictionary. More about the book. It's a paperback, smallish but with a lot of words. English-Dutch and Dutch-English. It describes whether nouns are het or de words, essential to beginners. There's lots of nice example uses of words, just like you get in Van Dale books although cut down a bit. I must confess to using it much more than my bigger Van Dales dictionaries. Overall, I'd say Buy It.
