- My favorite
I own several Chinese-English dictionaries. This is my favorite. In its layout, type size, sample sentences ( with pinyin), scope of vocabulary, breakdown of word components ( very helpful in understanding the meaning behind the word and the Chinese mindset) as well as many other features mentioned by other reviewers on this page this text is outstanding.

One feature which I love is the inclusion of traditional characters. Though the simplified characters form the basis of the book wherever the traditional character varies it is listed. Many dictionaries lack this vital resource.

I use this now as my preferred beginner and intermediate level Chinese-English dictionary.

- Useful, too many typos
This will accompany you into your second year of studies or so. As many reviewers have pointed out, you can really hammer new words in by reading the example sentences given under each headword.
There are two ways to use this:
1) Read it from A-Z, which needs a lot of discipline (it took me 4-5 months). This has the advantage that you can impress (or dumbfound) people by telling them that you're actually reading a dictionary for a bedtime story.
2) Look up new words that come up in your textbook. At a certain level, you will need something like "Cheng & Tsui Chinese-Pinyin- English Dictionary for Learners" (ISBN 0887273165) which has ten times the number of words but is hard to get.

One big flaw in Tuttle's dictioanry is the number of typos (see what I mean?). Sometimes wrong characters are given, but what's really annoying is the constant misspelling in pinyin. I have found up to 8 wrong pronounciations on a double page. A second edition should fix that. All in all, indispensable.

- Easy to use, lots of example sentences
This is an excellent beginner's dictionary. Its words are arranged alphabetically by Pinyin, so it is easy to find words if you know the pronunciation. An English-Pinyin section is provided so it's simple to find translations. Of course, since it is a Learner's dictionary, the included vocabulary is not intended to be completely comprehensive, but to be useful in common situations.

Perhaps the best part of this dictionary is that it is replete with example sentences for almost every word. You often need more than just the translation of a single word; you want to know how to use it, and in that respect this dictionary is exemplary.

- Simply Brilliant
I have used a few English - Chinese dictionaries now, and this is by far the best. The simplicity is supurb. It uses a larger font than many similar dictionaries, so you can see the Chinese characters with more clarity. The example sentences for each word are excellent. The Chinese is simple and eloquent, and for a beginner, it is a brilliant reference. The pinyin allows words in the examples to be referenced quickly. I haven't found a word in any example that isn't also in the dictionary (this is very impressive). The reference section at the back is also very well laid out. I have used this dictionary for well over six months now and I have tested it fairly well. Of several English - Chinese dictionaries that I own, this has become my first reference, firstly because of the usage examples, but also because it is just easier to use than the rest. I'd love an electronic version as well though - preferably for a PDA - so that I could click around the examples - it wouldn't replace the book though.

I would asolutely recommend this book for anyone learning Chinese.

- Indispensible Dictionary for Learners of Chinese
After returning from a conference in Beijing, I was looking around for a good dictionary and was so thrilled to find just what I was looking for - an intelligently written Chinese English Learner's Dictionary. I can positively say that I have learned more Chinese from this one book than any other book I have ever run across. I think the other reviewers have come to the same conclusion as me - the example sentences are truly great. I especially like the inclusion of so many new things, like internet language, modern society examples, history, poetry, and everyday activities. The short but very concise grammar section is just what a learner needs to know to fully utilize this book. I also like that the Chinese is in blue, the pinyin in bold black and the translations in italics. I am very ready now for an advanced learner's dictionary, and I think Professor Li Dong is the person to do a great job with this.
