The Firefly Spanish / English Visual Dictionary, 2nd Edition (English and Spanish Edition)

Spanish accounts for more than half of all foreign language courses taught in American schools. The Firefly Spanish/English Visual Dictionary shows graphically what other dictionaries can only describe in words. This new edition features updated terms and illustrations for the very latest common usages of both English and Spanish. Each keyword or phrase is connected to a detailed and annotated full-color illustration, making identification quick and accurate. Spanish terms are identified by gender, and there are two extensive indexes, one English and another in Spanish, that make it quick and easy to find a term in either language. The book covers 600 subjects that are organized into 17 color-coded sections: Astronomy Earth Vegetable kingdom Animal kingdom Human being Food and kitchen House Do-it-yourself and gardening Clothing Personal adornment and articles Arts and architecture Communications and office automation Transport and machinery Energy Science Society Sports and games
