Customer Rating: Summary: Spanish visual dictionary Comment: Great book ! Photos are clear, the content is extremely useful. I would recommend this book to holiday makers or residents of spain. Customer Rating: Summary: A great resource and reference Comment: I LOVE this book so much that I have bought it over and over - giving it away as gifts to so many Spanish learners and even Spanish speakers who are not so fluent that they couldn't benefit from a book that provides English, Castilian and Mexican usage for thousands of very specific pictures. Inflatable dinghy? reduced-fat milk? extension cord? after-sun care? It's all here, with DK's characteristically beautiful photos. It's a bit heavy to cart everywhere, but it's so engrossing that it makes any long wait (at the supermarket or doctor's office)an unexpected pleasure. Customer Rating: Summary: diccionario español-inglés Comment: he conocido este producto al comprar el diccionario inglés - francés.
Lo encuentro muy útil, ya que es todo el vocabulario cotidiano el que aparece, y addemás es ilustrado, lo cual identificas exactamente loq ue quieres buscar.
Estoy muy contenta y se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent and essential dictionary Comment: This is a small book but it is packed with visual images and the Spanish words for them. So many useful items are in here, you will not need much more than this. It is small enough that I took it with me to Spain and plan to take it to Mexico. It is also well organized and handy to use so you can find the word you need quickly and easily. I think this an essential book to your Spanish learning. Customer Rating: Summary: This dictionary is the bomb! Comment: Oh, this dictionary is so awesome! I have so much geekish fun with it you wouldn't believe it. A genius-like idea (words grouped by theme, each with a matching picture), flawlessly executed.
Though a slightly worrying side-effect is that one starts to lust after the items in the pictures (not the people, who are all remarkably healthy, (except if you're looking at the section about going to the doctor, or being in the hospital), but in a completely cheerful, non-erotic kind of way).
But the things. Everything is so top-of-the line. If DK include a photo of a bathrobe, it's so klassy you immediately start to krave it. Their pastry display makes you drool. You don't just want to know that "la masa brisa" is filo pastry, or that "trifle" is "el postre de soletillas, gelatina de frutas y nata", you want the damned trifle itself. Even the fast food ("comida rapida") looks uncommonly mouth-watering. The "albaricoque" picture is of the most perfect apricot you have ever seen. Even the ugli fruit ("el ugli") is beautiful. Over in the section about the bank, "el director de banco" is kindly and avuncular. "Las plantas podadas con formas" (topiary) are uniformly exquisite. Even the watering can ("la regadera") is an aesthetic delight. "La montaña rusa" (the roller-coaster) is a canonical example of roller-coasterdom.
You get the picture. Actually, you get thousands of them, each more attractive than the next.
The only slight disadvantage is that verbs don't quite get the emphasis they deserve.
