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.
