The new edition does not have the (few and poor-quality) illustrations of its predecessor but who needs those when we now have the Oxford-Duden Pictorial Dictionary with much more and better pictures. All in all, the new edition has 18% more entries if the publishers' information in both editions is accurate. The typeface of the new edition is somewhat larger (and more easily legible). However, appearances are deceiving, since the new edition has a printed area of 7" x 9.5" per page against 5" x 7.5" in the old one, resulting in a 25% larger total printed area for the new Michaelis. Since the old Michaelis had a combined 2480 pages in its two volumes, the new edition seems to be smaller. It combines the En-Pt and Pt-En volumes in one large, 1735-page volume with a contemporary-looking hard cover and a thumb index. The new Michaelis is apparently a completely new dictionary. With the brand-new Michaelis 2000, our wait is finally over. Hose of us who translate into or from Portuguese have for long waited for a new edition of the venerable Michaelis dictionaries, first published in 1957, which have been reprinted over 50 times since then, but never updated. Also available in the Collins Portuguese dictionary range are Collins Portuguese Gem Dictionary, Collins Portuguese Dictionary and Collins Portuguese Phrasebooks for mobile phone and iPod.Michaelis Moderno Dicionário Inglês-Português, Português-Inglês Verb tables show all verb forms for the most common Portuguese verbs.

There is also a section on false friends - common translation mistakes - with examples to show how the words should be used in both languages. An in-depth and up-to-date supplement helps you to develop your knowledge of Portuguese and your confidence in the language, with information on grammar, as well as the words and phrases you will need in different situations, like writing letters and sending emails.
