    GOOD DICTIONARY???

    I am in desperate need of a new slovar to replace the ol' "pocket" dictionar. Can someone recommend a good Russian-English English-Russian dictionary? I am looking for one with lengthy definitions.

    Also, anyone get a good Russian-Russian dictionary? It might be nice to read the Russian definitions in Russian. Anyone tried this? How'd it work?

    I do not understand very well the best way of understanding ..

    Carper, you're American, correct? If so, the Kenneth Katzner dictionary would probably be a better choice - it's based on US English. Also, the Oxford one has a few lies in it, based on my experience.

    I do have a regular Russian dictionary. It's useful for getting at the nuances of word meaning.

    Incidentally, I just found out that Kenneth Katzner is dead. I am in mourning.

    Everyone, a moment of silence for Kenneth.

    The bear looked at the car, and reflections of fire danced in his eyes. He knew what to do.
