Review: Fast, functional, and very useful - I've had this dictionary about a month and a half and the few reviews I could find prior to buying it were not overly positive. But I bought it anyway and couldn't be happier with it. It is intuitive, very fast, and translates almost all the words I have entered. I have used it almost every day since I am attempting to move up from a high beginner to a strong intermediate in Spanish by month's end. I have been in Buenos Aires for 11 days, with 20 to go, taking a 3 week Spanish course in a language school. I am in a low intermediate class and we have homework assignments and lots of exercises and speaking each day. I use the Franklin dictionary constantly when I don't know a word or need the equivalent in Spanish. The best part about the little computer in my opinion is the conjugations. I have had and will have more class lessons in conjugations, so far only the present tense. When I am stuck on an irregular or any other verb I enter it into the dictionary, hit the conj key and bingo, aqui esta. Successively hitting the conj key takes you through all the tenses in all persons. While my classmates are fumbling around with their Spanish-English translation books, I have the verb, its meaning, and have already conjugated it, if applicable. It's my favorite feature and really helps me to learn the verbs and their forms. The negatives are the rather poor audio for some of the translations (not all) and the fact that the screen is not backlit, although I have had absolutely no problem seeing it in normal or even somewhat low light. I use it in restaurants here in Buenos Aires while I'm waiting or eating and can practice Spanish by inputting words or reading and translating phrases. It fits easily in the pocket of my shorts and I'd replace my BES 1890 immediately if anything happened to it. If you're serious about learning espanol, or simply need a new translator, I recommend it. For the serious estudiante, it's more than worth the cost.
Review: Great product! - I really like this item. I got it so that I could look up words that I did not know faster than using a paper back dictionary, but this actually does a lot more. I even have fun with the games. It is a great learning tool. For new Spanish or English speakers it is magnifico! I do wish it had a back light because in some light it is very difficult to see. Mine is also hard to hear--I have to hold it to my ear--but maybe my batteries are not strong.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good translator
*by J***E on April 30, 2011*

Well I would say this is the best translator I have tried.The good is it is fairly portable,easy to use,very extensive dictionary and conjugates verbs very well with many examples,also lots of popular fraises.It has many usefull features.The bad is sometimes the screen is hard to read there is no backlight,sometimes the buttons I push those letters dont show up on the screen,and sometimes the voice on the speaker sounds muffled and is hard to understand.Overall I like this translator,I payed about $50.00 for it and I think it is well worth it.I have taken two spanish classes and I think this would be good for both beginners and the advanced.
