What's the best English - Polish Dictionary?

Dzień dobry! I am trying to learn some Polish so I can communicate with my new friend in his own language. (His English is perfect, but I'm really enjoying learning...) I have the Teach Yourself Polish course and a collins gem dictionary so far, however he's intentionally giving me words I need to research, and will probably not find in my dictionary... (fun, but frustrating...)

For instance, I'm guessing signing off with "Do przeczytania" doesn't have anything to do with przeczytac - "reading a book from cover to cover" (d'oh), or maybe it does... (You see the level I'm at...) If anyone can recommend a thorough and comprehensive dictionary I can invest in, I'd appreciate it....

Dziękuję.

A look around this section should give you what you want, dont be deterred by a slow response but this question seems to get asked a couple of times a week!

This thread has some good stuff in it, did you mean online or an actual book?

This is a very good PDF dictionary for your PC, its not comprehensive but its a good start and easy to use.


Some online dictionary/translation tools:

DICT.pl
Polish Dictionary.com
Inter-Tran

A guide to letters and words on video. (a lot of hard work done by someone on here, nuff respec!)

A much praised site that should help with everything else.


I started with the Pimsleur audio program, good for your MP3 player to learn anytime/anywhere and will get you started on the basics and with pronunciation.
It isnt cheap... unless you find it in a torrent somewhere.... *innocence-whistles*


I've only been learning for a couple of months in the precious little time i have to spare, but last night i had a great chance to test myself and it felt great to be able to communicate! (albeit on a very basic level so far!) Good encouragement to carry on.


Of all the links i give above, i have found the best place to come is here!


powodzenia!
