Word by Word Picture Dictionary English/Spanish Edition 2nd Edition

Absolutely the best learning tool for Latinos (or really anyone) to master real-life English. It's a picture dictionary with images grouped by theme, and definitions/descriptions of the images written below in English and in Spanish. I used it my first year of teaching English to Latino adults in a job-readiness program, then hauled them back and forth with me to the local community college when I started teaching there. I like that the vocabulary is taught in groups of words where appropriate, because this is how we actually use them. Looking at the pictures while reading the words increases retention and understanding at all levels, as does seeing the words and images grouped by usage rather than alphabetically. If you are a teacher or tutor, check out the questions at the bottom of most pages - they can spark an entire discussion or writing activity to enforce the words covered.Adults and children love to use this book, and I find myself reviewing pages on work-related verbs from time to time to keep my Spanish updated. There are entire pages devoted to various USEFUL topics such as landscaping tools, medical supplies, classroom phrases, emotions, phrasal verbs, outdoor games types of buildings - just about any topic you'd want to teach or learn. These books go perfectly with the entire Side-by-Side teaching series, but you could also use them with any other resource. I own most picture dictionaries on the market, and these are the ones that I'd miss if I lost them. These are the ones my students reach for, too.

Es muy util para aprender nuevas palabras en inglés, los dibujos ayudan mucho a entender, lo recomiendo muchísimo

Loved all of the pictures along with the English and Spanish translations; very easy to use and helpful to teach a language to a beginner! Excellent book!

The media could not be loaded. I used this when I first started to learn English and now that I am a teacher, I want my students to learn from it as well

Clear pictures and useful situation. A good text for English learners

No incluyeron el cd🤷🏽‍♀️

I used this as a text book when I taught English as a Second Language. It's a great help in many ways. This one I bought for my grandson who is anxious to learn Spanish.

I teach an ESL class to immigrants and use this book constantly. My students like this book becuz of the pictures, conversation ideas at the bottom and translations in several languages. I've had to order books (in Spanish, Chinese, Korean) for my students who want their own copies. We love this book!
