Review: indispensable learning tool - This is a wonderful, fabulous device and is probably the best investment you can make in the future of your learning. It has a large vocabulary and the price is amazing (plus free shipping if you order through desertcart). The dictionary and translation is wonderful, but this electronic gem offers more than just that. It features several learning tools, such as a list area, where you can add newly learned words to a list (in either English or Spanish) and quiz yourself. My only lament about this is that the number of words that fit on the list are limited, to about 50-100. Another great feature are the games. Though tacky they may be ("Word Train", anyone?), I found them to be entertaining and educational. If you are unsure about a conjugation, there is even an option to look up word conjugations. This is a great tool, but I wouldn't suggest using this while you are trying to talk to someone, because it takes forever to scroll through the multiple tenses to get to the one you want. However, if you want to learn the proper conjugations for future use or for a written assignment, this feature is great, especially for students. If you are traveling to a Spanish speaking country (or if you are a Spanish speaker traveling to an English speaking country), and you just need to be able to get by with the basics, then there is a section for you too. If you drop down to the main menu, there is an option for Spanish phrases and an option for English phrases. Once you select this option, you are led to a handy list of categories to choose from (emergencies, dining, health, postal services, etc). There are a plethora of phrases in these sections that you will surely find useful if you are a tourist or are learning the language. Personally, I found the spell correction to be of a lot of use. When you hear a word in Spanish, it is impossible to always guess how it is spelled (ex. hecho and echo sounds like the same word). If you misspell a word, the dictionary gives you a list of possible words to choose from. If you type in an already conjugated word, then the dictionary will recognize it and take you to the un-conjugated form with the definition. Now, if you are a student learning Spanish or English, then I encourage you to buy one of these immediately. Not just for the translations and definitions, or for the games or the list option, but more importantly, for the study options. In the main menu, if you click over to "Learn" there are several opportunities to improve your language skills and help you excel in class. There are Spanish and English Usage examples, English and Spanish Grammar lessons, a Spanish word list for the SAT's and a TOEFL Test word list for those preparing to take the TOEFL test. All of this in a little hand held device. Other options include spelling tests and flash cards. As for the mechanics of it, I found the mini keyboard to be easy to use and comfortable to hold with both hands. It is fairly easy to navigate your way around, but take a look at the manual so that you make full use of it. The lid can stay open or shut without flopping around, which minimizes distractions. I purchased this from desertcart and received it quicker than expected, with everything in tact and working (batteries included), and with free shipping.
Review: Okay, bit overpriced. - I liked this translator, it gets the job done, but the price is slightly unfair. I like how it works. The buttons are easy to press, and it's knowledge base is incredible. The only problem I had was the flimsy cheap plastic cover that protects it. The build quality could be better, that's why I think the price is a little too much. Besides that, I recommend this product to anyone who needs it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely useful tool for language learners
*by K***4 on December 10, 2011*

I bought this to supplement the Ultralingua app on my iPhone and so far love it. The advantage of using this over the iPhone app is that it is a bit easier to type using the keyboard rather than the touchscreen. Pros/Advantages: Keyboard is nice for the size - I like it Not ultra portable but it definitely fits in a jacket's inner pocket pretty well For the price the screen is excellent and adequate Easy quick access buttons for verb conjugations, don't need to hunt around Sample sentences in every tense with the verbs - this is something my Ultralingua doesn't have and I love it! Info on verb constructs - for instance "acabo de" and "acabo con" is included when looking up "acabar" Cons: None considering the price This is an excellent product that is a godsend for whoever is learning Spanish.
