One of the most challenging tasks for English speakers learning German is finding the precise German word to translate an English term in context. Many common English words have multiple German equivalents, leading to potential confusion, such as mistakenly asking if someone has "extinguished the rubbish" instead of "put out the rubbish." While bilingual dictionaries provide equivalents, they often lack detailed usage information. This practical dictionary features longer articles than those found in bilingual dictionaries, focusing on words that particularly challenge English speakers. The complexity arises from two main factors: frequently used English words often have multiple meanings, and each meaning can correspond to several German words. These words may be partial synonyms, but their meanings are often divided differently in German. Each article begins by clarifying the various meanings of an English word, then explains the meaning and usage of the corresponding German equivalents, supported by numerous examples. This resource serves as an essential reference for advanced learners and teachers of German at all levels, offering unique insights into the structure of word meaning in German and practical advice on usage.
