HarperCollins Spanish College Dictionary 8th Edition

The updated eighth edition of the HarperCollins Spanish College Dictionary clearly presents Spanish and English exactly as they are written and spoken today. It includes more than 390,000 entries and translations and has been fully revised to include the most up-to-date words and terms. 

The clear layout allows maximum ease of access and enables effective communication for educational, business and traveling purposes. Usage levels are indicated throughout, with extensive examples to illustrate how words are used in context. A system of style labels identifies whether a word is formal, informal, literary, vulgar, dated, or euphemistic. The text also includes pronunciations of all English words using the International Phonetic Alphabet, with a full guide to Spanish pronunciation and phonetics for difficult words.

This edition also offers fully updated coverage of both Spanish and English words including business, technological, and cultural terms, and extensive coverage of Latin-American usage. It also includes a "Spanish in Action" supplement that provides invaluable advice on how to express yourself in correct and idiomatic Spanish, as well as in-depth coverage of Spanish life and culture.
