The perfect dictionary for your pocket

You are lost for words in a meeting. You can’t remember the right legal term in a negotiation. You’re on the train talking to a business partner on your mobile and want to look something up quickly. In all these situations, what you need is a dictionary which is small enough to put in your pocket, but which offers a large vocabulary. You also want one that is easy to use, reliable — and doesn’t run up a huge bill because you always need an internet connection to use it. The EW-G7000C from Casio is one of the best electronic reference devices on the market right now and we’re big fans.

What does the EW-G7000C offer?

The EW-G7000C is an invaluable tool for interpreters, lawyers, business professionals, students and travellers. This handheld device weighs only 270 grams, but it contains 21 reference works, including the PONS specialist dictionaries for the fields of law, business and marketing – the Business-Wörterbuch Englisch, the Großes Fachwörterbuch Wirtschaft Englisch, the Fachwörterbuch Recht Englisch and the Fachwörterbuch Marketing Englisch.

So, if you are not sure what Bruttoinlandsprodukt means, you can look it up in the PONS Business Wörterbuch Englisch. Do you need a lawyer, a solicitor, an attorney or a barrister to deal with your patent lawsuit before a court in London? The PONS Fachwörterbuch Recht Englisch will explain the difference. And the PONS Fachwörterbuch Marketing Englisch has in store a huge range of "prices".

When you're lost for words at the airport, the Reisewörterbuch from PONS (in English, French, Italian and Spanish) will give you the vocabulary and the phrases you will need to get you to the gate on time. You’re about to meet a colleague from Dubai and want to find out a few facts about the country? Having facts and names at your fingertips can help you to make good decisions and avoid embarrassing mistakes. You can look up the facts in Der Grosse Brockhaus in einem Band. Your business partner is interested in literature? The 100 Works of World Literature will help you to get prepared for the appropriate small talk during a break.

Although it might seem a bit surprising to have monolingual German reference books from DUDEN on an electronic dictionary, they can be quite useful, too, when you have to prepare business letters, contracts and emails and find the right German wording and spelling.

Extra help for learners

Learners of English need a good learner’s dictionary, and the Casio has one of the best. The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary is a monolingual dictionary that includes information on pronunciation, a definition in easy English, notes on how the word is used in context, grammatical information, explanation of idioms, and example sentences. The Oxford Practical English Usage contains all the usage information you could want for British and American English. It also offers clear explanations of confusing grammar points. And when you don't know when to say "look for", "look at", "look after" or "look up", the Oxford Phrasal Verbs Dictionary will tell you.

Technological features

And how about the technology and the usability of the EW-G7000C? First of all, the technical features that are combined in this miniature tool are clearly described and explained in the manual. The colour display is well structured. The case is of robust plastic with an aluminium cover. The keys are quite big, so that you won't strike the wrong ones. The speech output helps you check the pronunciation and word stress via headphones or an integrated loudspeaker. Via a USB cable you can connect the device to your computer. And with the "Favorit-function" you can create your own personal dictionary.

In short: This handy device is the most complete electronic dictionary and reference tool on the market. It's easy to use and fits easily in your pocket — even a small one!
