4.0 out of 5 stars Good for learning commonly used Spanish words., August 26, 2000
By Scott Beattie (Boulder, Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Let's Learn Spanish Picture Dictionary: Picture Dictionary (Hardcover)
I borrowed this book from a Spanish-speaking co-worker and have found that it is a very useful book even though I have been learning Spanish intensively for over three years. The book is very useful for quickly looking up words for a variety of situations. Even after learning the language it is handy to have a picture dictionary available - many of the more complicated picture dictionaries tend to be overwhelming and too detailed. This book will not teach you Spanish grammar and will not teach you how to speak the language but will definitely increase your vocabulary if you have some other resource avilable for learning the grammer. The book is an awkard size and you probably won't find that you carry it around very often.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book full of useful words and pictures for a beginner., September 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Let's Learn Spanish Picture Dictionary: Picture Dictionary (Hardcover)
I've just recently dedided to study speaking Spanigh in my home as opposed to a school enviornment. It helps that I have a spanish speaking partner. I have purchased more than quit a few home study books, tapes and Software programs. But have been dissappointed with them. They are all geared towards people who already have a good grasp of the language. This book was a blessing. It is perfect for the True Beginner. If other books leave you thinking, "I'll never learn how to speak Spanish", this book will give you some incentive to continue learning. I have dusted off some of those old spanish books and getting my monies worth by using them. :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Spanish Nouns at a Glance, December 24, 2008
This review is from: Let's Learn Spanish Picture Dictionary: Picture Dictionary (Hardcover)
This is a book intended for kids, but it can be useful for kids and adults alike. As an adult, I purchased this book to brush up on my Spanish. I find pictures and organization make the memorization process easier.

There are more than 1,500 words covered, in 32 sections. Usually, the theme of the section is expressed through a large scene, in which the individual items can be seen. They are also separately shown, with English and Spanish description. I was happy to see that there were bilingual glossaries and that the Spanish-English one gives Spanish pronunciations.

This dictionary primarily concerns nouns, with use of the proper Spanish article; there are merely one section on verbs and one section on prepositions and adjectives. Many say it is more important to focus on verbs, language structure, and idioms, and that is fine. But I find it great to have such a quick reference for frequently used nouns.
