I am learning to speak Arabic at home. The vast majority of the translations in this dictionary are wrong. Don’t waste your money, just save up your money and buy the $110 hardcover al Mawrid. This book is completely useless. I am so disappointed.

I bought this book because I needed a reference for picking names for my Arabian horses. Parts of the book are okay, but most of it is a bit cumbersome to use. Unless you speak pretty fluent Arabic, don’t bother.

I’ve been studying Arabic pretty intensely for the past 40 weeks: 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. This dictionary is awful to the point of worthlessness. Without giving proper context, the definitions are often wrong or are infrequently used synonyms. By stripping away the underlying root system, it actually harms learning. If you must have an English-Arabic dictionary, get the Oxford, though you’re better off just using Google translate. Spend the money and invest the time to learn to use Hans Wehr well but don’t bother with this book.

I like the book for it’s ease of useability. I can quickly find the words and the correct pronunciation. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn the Arabic language.

This dictionary is an absolute joke. Very basic and you can hardly find proper meanining whether in Arabic or English. It has no value for money. Whoever needs a genuine dictionary, should purchase the Oxford dictionary.
