4.0 out of 5 stars Picture dictionary for adults and kids to learn English, May 2, 2008

By	Joanna Maddock (New York, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was meant for Koreans learning English but the Korean words are under the English words so you can use it both ways. You might think a picture dictionary is for kids but this one is for grown-ups and is VERY well laid out by category. There are quite a lot of words illustrated including verbs, prepositions and nouns as well as adjectives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Geared to English learners (not learners of Korean), November 29, 2008

This review is from: Oxford Picture Dictionary: English/Korean (Paperback)

I teach English as a second language, and this is the dictionary that I urge my higher beginning students to get. It's a wonderful practical vocabulary builder. I have seen disappointed reviews from people trying to use these bilingual Oxford Picture Dictionaries to learn a foreign language (i.e., not English), and I don't think the OPD the best dictionary in that circumstance. Everything in the dictionary is geared toward American English and American society, and all the incidental material that Oxford University Press creates for the OPD (and there is a lot of it) is in English.

When used for the purpose for which it was designed -- learning English -- this is a fantastic asset.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, but could be better.., June 25, 2008

By	Carlos Chapa "Dr. Chapa" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I loved the idea of pictures to help learning languages..

However disappointed with the use of many words and chapters....

I feel it should be more "general" and geared for my "useful" korean words.

However, when learning Korean... the options are limited...
