THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE OF ITS KIND TO DATE Not only is this the most comprehensive English-Swahili dictionary to date (about 60,000 entries) - it is also the first one to include a phonetic transcription. It covers all major fields of intrest. American pronounciation is shown in cases differing from standard British pronounciation. In addition the dictionary abounds in synonyms and suggested alternative translations. In other words, this is a book not only for looking up in, but also for learning from. Willy Kirkeby has taught at secondary schools in Norway, Germany and Tanzania (Mkwawa Secondary School, Iringa), and has been compiling a comprehensive selection of dictionaries. These include English-Norwegian and Norwegian-English dictionaries in both comprehensive and smaller editions. KAMUSI KUBWA YA KISASA YA AINA YAKE YENYE MAMBO MENGI Si tu kuwa hii ni kamusi ya Kiingereza-Kiswahili ya kisasa yenye mambo mengi (karibu vitomeo 60000), bali pia ndiyo ya kwanza kounyesha unukuzi wa kifonetiki. Inaelezea nyanja kuu zote. Utamkaji wa Kimarekani umeonyeshwa mahali ambapo hutamkwa tofauti na Kiingereza cha Uingereza. Kwa nyongeza ni kwamba kamusi hii imejaa visawe na tafsiri badala zilizopendekezwa. Kwa maneno mengine, kitabu hiki si tu kwa ajili ya kuangalia maana zilizomo, bali pia ni kwa ajili ya kujifunzia. Willy Kirkeby amefundisha katika shule za sekondari nchini Norway, Ujerumani na Tanzania (Shule ya Sekondari ya Mkwawa, Iringa), na amekuwa akiandika kamusi mbalimbali zenye mambo mengi. Hizi ni pamoja na zile za Kiingereza-Kinorwey na Kinorwey-Kiingereza, kubwa zenye mambo mengi pamoja na matoleo mengine madogo.
