I just purchased the Oxford Picture Dictionary, second edition, and it is the most amazing picture book I have ever seen! I am in awe by how well-researched and thorough it is. I mean the authors literally thought of everything!I am very articulate in English, but since it is my third language, there are sometimes random words like a c-clamp or a grasshopper or loafers that I just don't know. It surprises people because my English is so good and they don't hear the trace of an accent and I can write amazing philosophical essays. So there was just this inconsistency between my knowing what a term like "wreak havoc" means and my not knowing what a "grasshopper" is. Weird.I couldn't find an appropriate book to fill in some of the gaps I have in my vocabulary. The ones I found were either too easy or too abstract. This one is concrete and complete. I probably know about 75% of the words in it, but that 25% I'm going to learn with this, that random 25% that gives me a headache sometimes when I'm trying to describe stuffs, will make me feel like a native speaker. This book is just too perfect.I'll recommend it to everyone I know.

auper bueno

yes this is fine but not a way to learn english without accompanying grammar books of some kind. i have a boyfriend who learnt from this book for a year now and speaks in nouns. Its okay but i didnt realise i needed a farsi and english OPD. again negligent shopping on my part. the books fine.

I've been studying English for the last 20 yrs and teaching for the last 2.5 and just recently found this dictionary. I'm absolutely amazed at all that's in here, some things that even I had to review before teaching. Students love the way it touches on all the things in everyday life in US and how well things are presented. The extra table of verbs and their written alternatives in the back is a great little cheat-sheet.Best part is that you can make this book alone be the skeleton of your curriculum. With or without the workbooks and the lesson plans, the student is sure to have a very well rounded education. as a teacher, you can also expand your curriculum to get into more in-depth look on American Govt, Civics and History, through numerous lessons.Its the first book I request the students buy as we start studies, as its a MUST HAVE!! All the books come in good condition and fast!

I teach ESL and use this book with my very beginning students. The seller rated it Good but it is in almost new condition. It arrived on time. I would buy from this seller again.
