Description
Each Oxford Beginner's Bilingual Dictionary is designed to offer English
speaking adult learners a comprehensive, straightforward introduction to
foreign languages, covering all the vocabulary needed for the first years
of study, along with notes on grammar and usage and guidance on the
culture where the language is spoken.
These easy-to-use references break from standard dictionary design.
Clear entries with examples showing how the language works in context
make it quick and simple to find the translation you're looking for, and
the bold, color layout makes the dictionary easy to navigate, allowing
you to get to grips with the language fast. All main translations are
preceded by an equals sign so that they are instantly identifiable, and
all parts of the entry are spelled out in full, avoiding confusing jargon
and abbreviations. Grammar and usage notes throughout the text warn
of possible translation pitfalls, and thousands of example phrases show
how the language is used in real life.
At the center of each dictionary is a section devoted to useful
information on the country, countries, or regions where the language is
spoken. This includes background on lifestyles and culture, tips on
etiquette and interaction, and a phrasefinder that provides handy
phrases for use when traveling abroad. The dictionary also includes a
section on core vocabulary--all the words you absolutely must know at a
beginner's level, whether you are a student, traveler, or business person.
The Oxford Beginner's Bilingual Dictionary is the perfect tool for adult
language learners who need basic vocabulary at their fingertips fast.
