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.
