This new edition of the Oxford German Minidictionary offers up-to-date coverage of essential vocabulary with over 100,000 words, phrases, and translations.  New to this edition are many new words in each language, as well as cultural notes giving an interesting and helpful insight into life in the German-speaking world, and a guide to understanding menus. Other key features include warning symbols to identify slang and informal language, and special usage notes to help users find the translation of frequently used words which are difficult to translate, because they appear in many different contexts. A unique phrasefinder groups together words and expressions from topics such as emergencies, shopping, and travelling, giving you instant access to the phrases you need.  All of these features are packed into a pocket-sized, durable format, and, with a brand-new text design and layout, this dictionary is more accessible and easy to use than ever before. It is the perfect language guide for holiday-makers, business people, and travellers.
