This dictionary has been created specifically for beginners with each of its features designed with the needs of the learner in mind. It offers easy-to-locate entries and colour coding helps you find the words you want to translate quickly and easily. Carefully structured entries mean that each new element of the entry translation, set phrase, or new part of speech start on a new line to help you navigate your way through the dictionary with the minimum of effort. Parts of speech and genders are spelt out in full and a glossary of grammatical terms explains what each part of speech means and what its function in the language is. There are thousands of example phrases drawn from real-life situations to help illustrate how translations are really used. Vocabulary-building panels offer word patterns, and constructions from language areas such as dates, the human body, and telling the time are grouped together to show you similarities and differences. Boxed grammar notes explain difficult points of grammar and usage.
