Customer Review: device works fine for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I have very little spanish background. I bought the device before going to Guatemala for a month for spanish lessons. Worked fine, no defects, all the buttons worked. The speaker works well enough to tell you where the accent on the word is, which is really all you need to know once you've grasped that all the spanish letters make the same sound with all the exceptions in the english language. No one in my spanish class laughed at me for having the device because I could look up words faster than anyone with the old-fashioned paper dictionaries. Sometimes my spanish teacher who spoke spanish as a second language would blank on a word - guess who everyone turned to? yeah that would be me. The friends that I made in Guatemala only spoke spanish, so I took this device with me everywhere and when they said a word I didn't know or I couldn't think of how to explain something, I used the dictionary. I admit that the screen is dull, it's certainly not as clear as the Franklin English dictionary. That makes it somewhat difficult to read at times, but never impossible for me. I used this device so much while I was in Guatemala that I burned out the batteries in 2 weeks - obviously, if it were impossible to read I could never have accomplished that. I was disappointed that the dictionary lacks profanity. Profanity is as much a part of the english language as it is the spanish language, thus you will hear it spoken in spanish speaking countries - surprised?. Most of us will agree that it is important to know when someone is using such language towards you. Is Franklin/Merriam-Webster on some sort of crusade to rid the world of profanity? Nevertheless, I strongly recommend this product for anyone learning spanish. The really awesome thing about it is that it conjugates the verbs - you won't find that feature in paper dictionaries, unless you get the really big ones. Once, while in Guatemala, I dropped my Franklin - that was when I realized how useful it was to me because I started thinking how am I going to keep increasing my vocabulary, how am I going to translate my assignments, how will I talk to other people? Fortunately, it still worked, and I was still able to function as well.
