Oxford Essential Portuguese Dictionary
C**R
Best one for European Portuguese
My Portuguese teacher (from Portugal) pointed out that my Collins Portuguese dictionary covers principally Brazilian Portuguese, so as I aim to learn both versions I decided to get an Oxford dictionary as well. I have a Brazilian language-swap buddy, and Duolingo emphasises Brazilian though it aims to cater for both. It's also handy not to always go and fetch one from another room every time I decide to do a little language practice.

Useful for convenience, but limited
As a beginner in Portuguese, if I can spot errors and get frustrated at some everyday words not being in... hence three stars - perhaps a bit picky as I have relied upon the dictionary a lot to check pronunciation and it has 95%+ of the vocab that I am currently learning. Falls a bit short at explaining everyday phrases, e.g. when a single word literally translated renders a different meaning when used in a particular phrase. Others on my course have plumped for Collins, and they have been studying for longer. Read into that what you will.

Lifesaver!!
Excellent little dictionary, timely arrival, very good price - very welcome. My new daughter-in-law is Brazilian and this clear little dictionary has been a lifesaver. Thank you.
