STUDENT'S DICTIONARY
Has been specially developed for Latin American students; it helps learners to communicate confidently in both written and spoken English. It provides through coverage of those areas of idiomatic English which are especially tricky for Spanish-speakers at this level. Its examples focus on the vocabulary students encounter in their studies, and on the language of everyday communication.

Explanations of English grammar - in Spanish - appear at the entries in which they are of most use.

You can be sure to find clear and memorable examples by way of explanation,  and to consolidate these points, aspects of English grammar which cause particular difficulty are again explained in Spanish in special appendixes.
