Online customer reviews allow the users to share their opinion on a product with other shoppers. They express either satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the item as well as its strong and weak features. Henceforth the reviews are a valuable source of information about the community and its expectations. I have used the reviews of German-Polish and Polish-German dictionaries from online bookshops to investigate the information conveyed in the dictionaries as well as their structure and functions. Who are the users of bilingual dictionaries and what are their expectations? Which lexicographic aspects are important to them, which less so? How do the investigated dictionaries fulfil the expectations of their users?

The paper examines the acquaintance with chosen on-line dictionary types among students of German studies. It is essential to answer the questions: Do the students use digital dictionaries in case of communi-cative difficulties in a foreign language? In which circumstances? Which ones do they prefer and why, especially whether they choose paper or electronic dictionaries and which devices they use to access the lexicographic information? Which features of dictionaries and what aspects of lexicographic structures are important for users? And finally whether the metalexicographic knowledge taught in linguistics courses improves the lexicographic competence of students. The results of the study confirm that on-line dictionaries, especially the bilingual pons.eu and the monolingual duden.de are popular and preferred by students. Quick and easy searching as well as wide range of entries and satisfying information per lemma are important criteria when using a dictionary. The typical context of dictionary use is translation and preparing for oral or written activities, therefore the users look mostly for the meaning and equivalences of lexemes, synonyms, and usage labels. While the respondents without any metalexicographic education believe that they are competent dictionary users, the students who have attended different courses with lexicographic focus revise their opinions. They appreciate the role of such courses in improving their lexicographic skills, especially if both the theory and practice of dictionary usage have been taught.
