Is there such thing as an esperanto dictionary? I can't find one anywhere. Oxford or Larousse needs to make a widely published, pratical student/office dictionary.

There are Esperanto dictionaries. I am using a very good one by Langenscheidt (German-Esperanto dictionary). I believe the "Teach yourself" Esperanto dictionary is a very good dictionary for beginners. If you're an advanced learner or want to do professional translation you might prefer the Benson's one though.
And of course there are lots of dictionaries and glossaries online. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You can access the dictionary used by Lernu.com directly at
http://lernu.net/cgi-bin/vortaro.pl and you can also find the "reta vortaro" (internet dictionary) online at http://reta-vortaro.de/ As for dictionaries of the dead tree variety, The teach yourself esperanto dictionary is indeed excellent if you can find it, but I think it may be out of print. A lot of people also like Peter Benson's "Complete English- Esperanto Dictionary" which is available from ELNA http:// www.esperanto-usa.org/ among other places. There are several other dictionaries available from ELNA so you may want to look there and see if one of the others (for example they have smaller "pocket dictionaries") might suit your needs better. If you want a monolingual dictionary, there are a few to choose from, but the gold standard is the uber-expensive PIV (Plena Ilustrita Vortaro - Complete Illustrated Dictionary). 1 person has voted this message useful |
