A good dictionary is an essential tool for any language-learner, from beginner to advanced. But not all German dictionaries are created equal. Here are some of the best.
|
|
1) Oxford-Duden German Dictionary
This is a dictionary for serious users. With over 500,000 entries, the Oxford-Duden German-English Dictionary will meet the needs of advanced students, business people, translators and others who require a comprehensive dual-language dictionary. Extra features include grammar and usage guides.

2) Collins PONS German Dictionary
Like the Oxford-Duden above, the Collins PONS is also a dictionary for serious users. It offers over 500,000 entries and meets the needs of those who require a comprehensive German-English/English-German dictionary, along with similar extra features. I consider these two tied for top German dictionary honors.

3) Cambridge Klett Modern German Dictionary
The Klett has been updated with the reformed German spelling, making it a top candidate. This 2003 edition is now the most up-to-date German-English dictionary you can buy. Advanced students and translators will find everything they need for their studies or for their work. 350,000 words and phrases together with 560,000 translations. Up-to-date vocabulary including thousands of new words from computing, the Internet and pop culture.
