Any opinions on best Spanish-English Dictionary?

Question

I'm re-teaching myself Spanish and need to get a dictionary.
I already have verb drill books, flash cards, and the 501 folly conjugated verbs book.

Answer 1

The New
Oxford Spanish Dictionary

excellent quality

275,000 words and 450,000 translations
has spanish and latin american equivalents.
Includes recently accepted words
100 pages of apendixes
1829 pages in total

I always have two handy for contrasting answers, but this is the best one...

I also keep a copy of the Spanish
Diccionario de la Lengua Española de la Real Academia
for confirming a translated word I'm not too sure of),
and for english a copy of
Websters Collegiate Dictionary
and one of the
Cambridge International Dictionary of English

Answer 2

I'm a Spanish teacher and studied Spanish for 10 years (actually, I never really stopped studying...It kind of goes on forever!). Anyway, I absolutely love my Vox New College Spanish & English Dictionary. It was recommended to me by my college professor and I have always found it to be extremely informative. Vox carries several different sizes, depending on your needs. (I also have the pocket dictionary...It is also great!)

Answer 3

TRUST ME!
All spanish and english dictionaries are always bad translated
doesn't matter how good quality they have.Your only hope is to get a friend or someone that talks spanish to help you.............
