Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The latest addition to the Oxford-Duden Pictorial dictionaries, the Portuguese and English dictionary provides the same comprehensive treatment found in other Dudens. This handy reference includes 384 picture sections divided into subjects as diverse as flora and fauna, industry, sport and recreation, the arts, and technology. The Portuguese and English vocabulary appears on the same page as the illustration to which it refers, and numbers link the words to the drawings, allowing the user to check quickly the meaning of a word in either language against its pictorial representation. The Pictorial Portuguese and English dictionary presents European and Brazilian Portuguese as they are written today, as well as European Portuguese variants, and differences in British and American English.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good technical dictionary, February 3, 2000

By A Customer

This is a good TECHNICAL dictionary which provides translations for many words that could never be found in a normal Portuguese-English Dictionary. I am involved in aviation in Brazil and found quite detailed pictures of airplanes and airplane subsystems. I found this to be true of many other subjects in the dictionary such as construction, zoology and even aerobatics. One small problem is that the English translation is in British technical terms. On some subjects this causes a bit of confusion as to the correct translation. Overall, a very helpful dictionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must!, January 18, 2000

By A Customer

A must for a translator or anyone who needs a detailed vocabulary for any item. A plethora of pictures, all in extreme detail. You'll even learn new English vocabulary for things you've never seen before! A+

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll learn words you don't know in ANY of these languages, October 30, 2000

By	Wagner ([e-mail]) (Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais Brazil) - See all my reviews

I have this dictionary; mine has over 400 pages, although the discription in Amazon.com says it's 96 pages (I think there's only one for each ISBN number). It's a very, very comprehensive dictionary, with deep coverage of many different subjects. It comprises so many different subjects in so much depth that there are plenty of words here, even in Portuguese, that I don't know. Let alone in English! It's a MUST, especially if you like dictionaries and enjoy studying English mostly for the pleasure of learning.
