Merriam-Webster’s Spanish-English Visual Dictionary - Features 8,000+ Full-Color Illustrations & 22,500 Terms

Bought this as a gift for an adult student of Spanish. He LOVES it! It has explicitly detailed vocabulary that covers more than basic subjects. For example: in the animal section, it has a picture of a dog with the word dog in English and Spanish. That's normal, so fine. But under the heading of "Dog" it has the words for different breeds of dogs, the skeletal structure of a dog, the words for the names of the bones in a dog, the organs of a dog, etc. If you look up the word for "airplane" this visual dictionary has the words in English and Spanish, plus images of various types of airplanes; prop planes, jet planes, biplanes, commercial airliners, etc., plus an image and translation of the cockpit, the 1st class cabin, the economy class cabin, the wings, the tail, the nose, the engine, and then the various components of the engine, as well. Plants, kitchen appliances, astronomy, tractors, whatever, it has exact vocabulary with explicitly detailed information. It is very well done, and he's told all of classmate friends about it. He says it's nice to have the correct word to use instead of playing charades!

A most unusual and fascinating dictionary!! Whether or not you are interested in the Spanish benefits (which includes defining masculine/feminine articles), this book is chock full of information! One could spend hours learning about SO many items and topics. It may be helpful for some to use readers or a magnifier to read the fine print. I love this book and highly recommend it!!!

Excellent learning book and arrived quickly💕😻😻😻😻please don't waste any more time and order it, this is a 100% real review and this is a good product

OMG, this is so amazing. The type is a little small but it has so much information inside. Organized nicely, colorful, even exceeds my expectations. Will come in handy for a long time. It covers so much, I’m happy I got this. Thick book, made from good quality material, just so much inside I’m blown away.

Great for students, and translators seeking terminology for specific industries.BUT — be advised that the print IS small.

If you're looking for a book that has pictures of things and the Spanish words for them, this book has that. But it's also a surprisingly comprehensive book, in English and Spanish, on how the world and everything in it works. And everything out of it too, meaning the solar system and the universe.Here's a hypothetical example: if you want to know the Spanish word for wine, it will show you, and label, all the major types of wines. And the grapes they are made from. And a complete breakdown of the chemical process that turns grapes into wine. Plus explanations about the chemistry of fermentation, in another section. Plus pictures of the feet that traditionally crushed grapes, and an anatomical description of a foot. And of bones. And of molecules that make up the bones. And of atoms that make the molecules, and a breakdown of the atoms into electrons, protons, etc. All nicely illustrated and labeled in Spanish and English.No kidding. This is going to be a prized addition to my reference shelves. Oh, and it helps you learn Spanish too.

This is a book that should be in every house, in every country. What an amazing job made the creators. Just imaging anything and you'll find the image and the description in english in the book.

This affordable, enjoyable, and essential reference tool is an amazing addition to my Spanish learning tools. There is a spot-on review by a member named Shawn, so I will suggest you read that review dated September 9, 2013. I will add that the product description indicates this book is a paperback, but it is not. It actually has a sturdy cover, although the cover is not nearly as thick as the typical hard bound book. For me this is is very preferable, keeping the dictionary on the lighter side, yet more durable than a paperback. It is also impressive that the pages of this book are sewn to the binding, not just glued... very good quality. The full-color illustrations are very clear and are presented with a practical and appealing layout. The wide variety of themes are nicely organized with color coded sections that can be seen even when the book is closed, helping you to turn to a desired section quickly. Finally, there are 2 complete and thorough indexes, one in English and one in Spanish, which include alphabetical listings and locations of every single word in the dictionary.
