Hi all- I'm surprised I didn't find anything by searching through the archives, but if
I did overlook something, feel free to point me there. I'm looking for Portuguese-English bidirectional dictionaries. I'm studying the Brazilian variant and looking specifically for the following formats, but I'd certainly welcome other suggestions: -Online (currently using www.portuguesedictionary.net) -Paper beginner's dictionary -Android app -Kindle dictionary Any and all suggestions would be extremely helpful! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I don't use a bilingual dictionary. I do find Linguee very helpful. It's not a dictionary per se, but it does give English equivalents and also bilingual example sentences.
Hopefully someone else can help you out with the rest. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-portuguese/ You can buy it as an application too (Collins Portuguese), a better one (Michaelis English Portuguese) is available as an Android application as well at Google play Store.

I have the Oxford colour dictionary, I liked it a lot when I used it. It has the Brazilian pronunciation in IPA.
As both are Romance languages, I also recommend you to get a Portuguese-French dictionary (if your info is up-to-date and you're still learning French). I find my Spanish-Italian dictionary very helpful :) When I'm at comp I use wiktionary or googleimages. The English wiktionary doesn't have many words (or has only Spanish entries for them), so check the Portuguese one too (and French might also be a good idea?). BTW if you use firefox, get the "add to search bar" and "second search" add-ons to go to your preferred dictionaries directly from the search bar. "Second search" is needed when you want to change the search engine used for this particular search, without having to change it back to the default one.

All Kindles and Kindle apps come with the 2011 edition of the monolingual Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa. PONS also offers bilingual Portugese-English online dictionaries. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks all for the great references! I had to miss a few days of Assimil and this will
help me to get back on the horse. For what it's worth, I'm not studying French, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to change that part of my profile. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Click on French (in your profile or below your username) and click Edit at the bottom. Change your study status to "not studying".
