Review

`a boon for any student of the Welsh language'
Writers News, July 2000

`it is a pleasure to use ... as both a practical word-search tool for English L1 learners using the vocabulary of everyday life, and also as a browse handbook to support the ongoing process of Welsh learning ... The book is of a convenient size for (large) pocket use, and its clear print and
adequate space in the margins will encourage its regular use as a companion to any Welsh-language course. Highly recommended for students and contaning many practical lessons for future compilers of Welsh and English dictionaries.'
Cathair O Dochartaigh, Language, Culture and Curriculum, Vol 13:3, 2000

`This new dictionary has not only caught up with the state of the art...but has leapfrogged it.'
Customer review

`This book is avowedly designed for the needs of Welsh learners and in my opinion it succeeds in this magnificently...It is full of really helpful and down-to-earth information for the beginner and has been a great help to me as I begin to study the language.'
