I bought this book for my Vietnamese class and it is excellent. The definitions are clear, and provide a wide range of options for translation. This is good, because languages aren't just word codes, and all these options help to give the true meaning of a word. In the Vietnamese-English part, the entries are extensive and offer cultural and grammatical insights.

Also, I was baffled on how to pronounce a final 'nh' and this dictionary helped me to do it correctly and easily.

It is easy to carry around, durable, and flexible. It was very helpful to me during my studies; I highly recommend it.

I have been looking for a good Vietnamese dictionary for a long time, and have finally found it in Langenscheidt's Vietnamese dictionary. This dictionary has the benefit of both northern and southern pronunciation, which is rare due to the fact that most textbooks and dictionaries only give the northern pronunciation. If you are studying Vietnamese, do yourself a favor and buy this book.
