"A couple of years ago I bought a Franklin Spanish-English dictionary (DBE-1470AM) before going to Mexico and it worked great for deciphering written signs, menus, etc. So I thought I would get something to help me before going to Germany this summer, and this is the Franklin product that appeared t …"  Read Full Review »
