More about the book

The result of a ten-year collaboration between Oxford University Press and Dudenverlag, the original Oxford Duden German Dictionary provided comprehensive and accurate coverage of contemporary German and English vocabulary. The teams worked closely from their respective countries, ensuring a balanced approach through regular joint sessions in Mannheim and Oxford.

It features over 260,000 words and phrases, 450,000 translations, and extensive guidance on selecting the correct translation. Users will find hundreds of example sentences, explanations of terms with cultural nuances, and coverage of British and American English, as well as German from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Additionally, it includes detailed grammatical information and helpful appendices on various topics such as grammar, numerical expressions, and a letter-writing guide.
