Dictionary anyone? January 7, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This Igbo-English Dictionary is the best resource I have so far, besides my mom. It really helps, you can go look up words or simply use the back, which shows you how to say tiny phrases such as "Help me" "I'm hungry" "I'm Hot". The back also gives the consumer some cultural insight and history.
My only problem with it, is that verbs are not displayed as either i-dot or i-dotless.verbs should be explained in more detail if you are going to do a section on them in the front, and most dishearting of all is that the top page markers are wrong. on some pages you will find the bolded word in the middle instead of at the end.
However all things considered this is a great assest for anyone wanting to learn Igbo.
Very good book, excellent price; improve vocabulary July 9, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is an great book. It gives a good introduction to the history and language of the Igbo people and is a dual phrassebook and dictionary. The tones and dots are shown clearly and distinguishes between different pronunciations. (please ignore the review at the bottom; it's probably an old edition that doesn't have the tone markings) However, the vocabulary doesn't seem to be complete, as there are some figurative, modern, and colloquial terms that aren't given. For example, the book says "mgbada" means "deer", but "mgbada" may also mean "victim". Some other words are also not given. Overall, this is a great book that is affordable and suitable for both native and foreign speakers. A great buy.

I am 50% Nigerian Igbo, and was born in Imo State. I grew up in America, and had lost my native language. This book has helped me regain the language I thought was gone forever. I think everyone interested in the Igbo Language should read it.
