Modern English-Yiddish / Yiddish-English Dictionary (Hippocrene Dictionary & Phrasebooks)

This Modern English-Yiddish / Yiddish-English Dictionary is very useful for all English speakers, not only the natives - for two obvious reasons. One is the English language as a contemporary lingua franca. Another is that many languages don't have their Yiddish dictionary equivalents. Weinreich gives good grammatical information in his entries, such as verb aspect and case of verb object, along with unpredictable forms such as the past participle. Both alphabets are very clear and distinct, and big enough to be readable for those past the bloom of youth. The English-Yiddish section is valuable for those using the book in Yiddish classes and for those who would like to speak, as well as read, Yiddish.
