The Oxford Picture Dictionary (The ^AOxford Picture Dictionary Program)

As an Oxford book, I'm not surprised that some of the English words used seem more European than American, so I supplement their terms with what I most commonly hear in my region of the U.S. As one other reviewer mentioned, there is not pronunciation help accompanying each word, but as a textbook for a teacher-led class, this book is outstanding. The pictures are done in a way that communicates the concept better than some other picture dictionaries I've seen, and it allows me to quickly convey ideas to a multicultural class. I still use examples, gestures, and acting out, but this book usually gets the idea across quicker and more accurately. And the combination of pictures with my demonstrations makes my students feel confident that they understand. I loved the old version, but this monolingual edition is the best yet.

I accidentally bought this version several times not noticing that it was the Canadian version. I buy lots of these for my students, so in my haste, I didn't notice it wasn't the one we have been using. Very disappointing and a waste of my hard earned money.

En exc estado.

bought this for my wife's esl class. This book along with the CD helped her a lot in learning basic english and learning the names of vegetables she was buying regularly at the store. good starter book for someone challenged with english.

good

muy buen libro.

Even it's a bit old but still could help for the beginner to studying the high-frequency used words. recommend to international students

A few years older but some things do not age. Still essential.

Excellent language-learning tool. My only gripe with this particular dictionary is its US-American English slant. It would be so much nicer to have at least British-English alternatives where applicable.My ESOL students love working with it, though, which is why it gets a four-star rating.

I've just bought this picture dictionary and must admit that I was slightly disappointed when I realised that it purely deals with American English, not British English. As I teach English as a foreign language with a syllabus focusing on British English, this dictionary will not be of much use to me, unfortunately. However, if American English is the topic, this dictionary is very thorough and well presented.

I bought this for a Chinese boy who I teach GCSE English to. It's very good, but is American English focused, so there are a few entries that are less than clear.

Non ho mai ricevuto il prodotto da questo distributore. Essendo una Professoressa di lingue ordino spesso libri su amazon per coveniena qualità prezzo, ma questo libro non sò che fine abbia fatto, anche contattando amazon non hanno risposte. Orribile!!!

Un libro muy útil para aprender inglés pero estaba más dañado por el uso de lo que esoeraba
