Would love to see dictionary recommendations and translation guides for various languages beyond French for Reading and German for Reading. Especially less common languages. Thought we could share our knowledge.

ETA For some reason my Chrome was acting up but I recently ordered these for Mandarin Chinese:

I actually saw that thread (printed it out for a friend wanting to apply for fall 2015 in religious studies), but I figured there was a value in a thread for people who may not necessarily need to read biblical Akkadian. But there's a variety of other languages I would have liked to seen as well, Japanese, Korean, Classical Chinese, Hindi, Italian, Russian, etc. 

 

I hope this isn't too redundant, because a few languages I would expect in Art History (Italian) aren't even listed over there.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that this thread is redundant.  I just thought I'd mention it in case people hadn't seen it.

Thanks actually! The German for reading http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~rfburger/language/German%20for%20Reading/ file is fantastic. And people should know about it.

Is the French for reading a good option? I need to brush up on my French before the start of fall semester...
