I am currently using this book in addition to the (old) Basic Spanish CD's from Berlitz to teach my children Spanish this year. The dictionary is providing a wonderful selection of additional vocabulary that is pertinent to home life. Each selection is accompanied by pronounciation and a sample sentence both in English and Spanish. The sample sentences give further help in learning sentence structure and idomatic expersions. There are about 2000 Spanish entries and 2000 English entries. Last year I used the combination of Berlitz CD's and a similar Barron's dictionary to teach the children German. It did take a lot of work on my part to enforce the listening to the CD's and vocabulary drill, but they now have a basic understanding of German. (I know how successful I was, because when I ask them a question in Spanish, they answer in German.) This dictionary would be a great supplement to any language program for adults or children. I just wish I could find a comparable dictionary in French!
