Oxford Beginner S Spanish Dictionary

Resumen del Libro

The Oxford Beginners Spanish Dictionary is a brand new guide to learning Spanish. Designed specifically for native English speaking adult learners who are either learning from scratch or refreshing lost language skills, it offers an easy to use dictionary, extra help with vocabulary, and essential information on the Spanish-speaking world. The dictionary is exceptionally easy to use, because it moves away from the traditional dictionary layout. All main translations are preceeded by an equals sign so that they are instantly identifiable, and all parts of the entry are spelt 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 context. The centre section gives key information on the Spanish-speaking world: background on lifestyle and culture, tips on etiquette and interaction in the language, as well as a phrasefinder which provides useful phrases for use when travelling abroad. The Oxford Beginners Spanish Dictionary is your essential companion to learning Spanish.
