As a Yiddish student at Binghamton University (SUNY), I purchased a copy of Mr. Wenreich's dictionary to supplement my textbook and to learn more about the Yiddish language. It is very informative and has every expression imaginable in it in both English and Yiddish! Unfortunately, Mr. Weinreich lists many Yiddish words for each English word, without sufficient commentary on each word or phrase. It is sometimes hard to decide which word to use in the context of my sentence from the large list he gives. All in all, I would recommend this dictionary - it is the most complete English-Yiddish Yiddish-English dictionary I have seen. I do feel, however, that the more advanced Yiddish student or speaker could benefit more from this book than a beginner.
