English - Ilokano AND Ilokano - English Dictionary

A simple English-Ilokano and Ilokano-English Dictionary - primarily for the Peace Corps Volunteer or traveler. Daniel spent 2 years as a Peace Corps Volunteer from 1985 - 1987 in Gomez, Cabarroguis in Quirino Province, The Philippines. The population of his village was, at that time, about 400 persons. Out of those 400 persons there was 1 person who could speak a small amount of English. Daniel therefore had to study at every possible opportunity if he wanted to be able to communicate with the local people - and he did want to communicate. In two years time he learned a great deal of vocabulary. Rather than returning to the USA, sitting on his knowledge and forgetting it, he put together this bilingual dictionary. At the time he was working towards an MBA degree at the University of Alaska - Fairbanks, so he took advantage of their printing services to have 30 copies printed. He sent these off to Washington, D.C. to the Peace Corps Philippines Desk. The Philippines Desk did as he suspected they would do and sent those 30 copies off with the next batch of volunteers. Those volunteers made good use of this dictionary. Hopefully you can do the same. It is not fancy, it just addresses a need.

Here is a 77 page SAMPLE (77%) PDF file of this 100 page book (new window). Note that it is 311 KB in size. I suggest that you right click on the link and select "Save Link As". Then after it's downloaded to your Hard Drive in a place where you can find it again, open it in Adobe Reader - version 9 or later (very important - it most likely will not open in a version earlier than 9). The best way to use Acrobat Reader to see what it really looks like is to choose "View", "Page Display", "Two-Up Continuous" and also "Show Cover Page During Two-Up" and that way you'll see it exactly as the book will appear in print (odd numbered pages on the right and even numbered pages on the left).
