I have Langenscheidt's Großwörterbuch, Deutsch als Fremdsprache, but I never seem to use it. I always use a website, dict.cc or deepl.com.CarlyD wrote:Can anyone recommend a good German/English dictionary? For some reason, my current German teacher keeps using words that are not in the dictionary. I don't mean verb tenses that you have to play guess-the-infinitive, but mostly nouns.
I have a couple of dictionaries now, that say "Compact" or "Concise" and they're not enough. I have a huge unabridged one but it's truly a hassle to drag it out and I don't have room for it to sit out on my desk all the time. Someone gave me one by a German publisher that was a good size and it turned out it was for someone who spoke German and was learning English, and there were no genders or parts of speech on any of the German entries.
