Tuttle Pocket Indonesian Dictionary: Indonesian-English English-Indonesian (Tuttle Pocket Dictionaries)

I bought this dictionary when I learned I would be working for an NGO in Indonesia. My interpreter had a larger "complete" English-Indonesian dictionary but she never used it because this little dictionary was better. I bought a second one to give to my interpreter as a Christmas present. This is one of the few English-Indonesian dictionaries that lists words with their prefixes. Indonesian verbs do not have tenses, but they do have prefixes and suffixes which change their meaning. If you don't know the root word (not always easy to sort out) you can't look the word up in most dictionaries. Not so with this one. If you don't speak any Bahasa Indonesia, you need the simplest tools you can find. This one is it, and it's the perfect size to take everywhere you go. My only complaint is that the cover on the second one I purchased is much flimsier than the first one. Maybe it was just an error in that production batch.

The "Tuttle Pocket Indonesian Dictionary" is the perfect travel assistant. This 15,000 word dictionary is broad in coverage yet concise, small and therefore very easy to carry. The book is well bound and written on excellent paper stock to withstand rough treatment and challenging travel conditions. I highly recommend it to travellers as well as students.

Arrived as promised - full of what my sister-in-law needs to know to enjoy her trip to Indonesia! She commented the end of this book has a load of fantastic information she is greatful for having at her fingertips for her trip.

This was much smaller than I thought it would be, but that was because I didn't read the dimensions carefully. It is the perfect size to carry around and is super easy to understand. There are pages in the front that explain the different abbreviations and symbols. Great value for the price!

Whatever language you study, a good dictionary is helpful. You can't always find words in text glossaries. Words are easy to find and to read. Highly recommended.

I found this dictionary and cross reference very helpful in understanding the language and comparisons of various words. Was received in good condition.l

Is what it is. Admittedly, you may want tp look at Apps first.

A great dictionary by a great publisher. Be sure to take it along on your trip to these wonderful islands.
