I always look at it this way:

Think of 1.33Euro/$ as 1.33 Euro to 1 Dollar.

If the spot rate goes to 1.35/$ than it takes more Euro to buy one dollar hence the Euro has depreciated against the dollar.

If the spot rate goes to 1.3/$ than it now takes less Euro to buy one dollar hence the Euro has appreciated versus the dollar.
