Hi fellow translators,

the tango aficionado in my life wants a glossary/dictionary of tango terms in Spanish-English-German (or at least two of those languages), online or printed, free or at a price, to make the most of international tango workshops. Can someone point me to such resources?

I'm just trying to be nice and get one for him, I don't do tango or tango terminology myself -- so don't be disappointed if I just nod and grin... See more

Wie wär's mit Googlen? Oct 13, 2014

Die Suchanfrage" Tango Begriffe" ergibt eine ganze Menge brauchbarer Ergebnisse.
z.B. http://www.el-duende.de/Tango_Begriffe.htm

The problem with googling Oct 13, 2014

Thank you Anette,

my problem is that as I don't dance myself, I have no idea how detailed or how complete this can get, so I would also like some input from people who are actually involved with tango. The list you are linking to looks interesting, but also mighty short.

Have a nice week,
Ricki

The list seems great! Oct 13, 2014

Hi Ricki!

I'm quite familiar with the tango circle, personally and professionally. In my opinion, the list from El Duende is pretty good and I believe that after learning those terms (or even much less) it would be no problem whatsoever to participate in a workshop or a seminar and understand it completely.

Have a great day!

agree Oct 14, 2014

Dear Ricki,

Speaking as a dancer, I can confirm that these glossaries are useful; at least for the dance and the figures. You might need some basic musical terms too (rhythm, phrase etc. nothing complicated, I don't know how familiar are these for you). Just don't forget that musicians and dancers use "half time" and "double time" in the opposite way.

Kind regards,
Szabolcs
