Customer Reviews

generically perfect

This is a great resource for learning a language with a tutor/teacher. My wife and I are using it for our Arabic studies. I say it's generically perfect, because you don't have to translate the English on the page corresponding to the picture. Your language helper can be free to describe it. Another plus is not only the extensive images and images placed in certain context, but cartoon strip style interactions, as well as images compared with one another and other arrangements helpful for learning. This is a great reference to integrate into your language learning. It's good to familiarize yourself with all that is in it early on, so that you can use specific pages/images corresponding to what you are studying.

Wierd and wonderful way to learn a language

This is a marvelous collection of quirky drawings that can provide hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of interactive language learning in any language. The simplicity of the wordless scenarios is especially helpful once native speakers catch on to how the drawings work (some take a bit of getting used to, especially all the bald guys). The addition of color in this edition is worth any extra cost. The pictures are organized topically and there is a useful index in English at the back of the book. The book promises "4500 everyday words and expressions in contexts that make conversation and interactive learning easy." Potentially very useful for any language learner.
