Product Description

The new Pocket Oxford-PWN Polish Dictionary is a much-requested addition to Oxford's range of European language dictionaries. The same scholarship and authority of the acclaimed unabridged Oxford-PWN Polish-English English-Polish Dictionary have now been applied to create this paperback format dictionary. The dictionary is very easy to use, with clear signposts to help you choose the right word for the context. For example, if you wish to translate the word 'firm', this dictionary will help you differentiate between a firm handshake, a firm mattress and a firm date. It has all the everyday vocabulary you need, and is a great resource for everyone from the lover of Polish culture to the language student. It is also in a conveniently sized paperback making it portable and accessible. The whole of the dictionary has been checked throughout by Polish and English native speakers, to ensure that the information given is more accurate and up to date than in any comparable dictionary. Awarded the European Medal for Products in Poland.

Customer Reviews

Not bad...nie najgorszy
In a sentence- the dictionary itself is comprehensive enough but there is zero guidance on Polish pronunciation or grammar which makes it rather useless for beginners, although maybe it is more suitable for Polish speakers learning English...

Polish Compact Dictionary
A good compact dictionary with 80,000 references, but,
the pages are very thin paper and the paperback is a bit thin.
I wish I had bought a hardback.
There is phonetic pronunciation for the English words,
but no pronunciation for the Polish words.

Pocket OXFORD POLISH Dictionary
I'm not sure why it's called "Pocket" - it's a fairly hefty 470 pages and 12x19cm (or 5 x 8"ish). I know there's only so much you can fit in, but there are certain words that I would EXPECT to see in a dictionary and, when I double-check them in the other language they ARE there i.e. some fairly basic words don't appear to be in both halves....
OK for the money - maybe I'm just used to bigger and better (because bigger!) dictionaries!
