Unlike a bilingual dictionary, Spanish Vocabulary provides the reader with a great deal of guidance in selecting the proper word(s) for expressing exactly what he or she wishes to say. Anyone not completely fluent in Spanish often finds a bilingual dictionary frustrating. For example, look up the word “bunch” and you’ll find as entries ramo, racimo, ristra, montón, puñado, atado, mazo, manojo, grupo, conjunto. You may still be at a loss as to which word you need. Spanish Vocabulary alleviates this frustration by indicating the specific words used to express such ideas as a bunch of flowers, a bunch of grapes, a bunch of carrots, a bunch of teenagers.
The content of each chapter is focused on a real-life situation, such as making a telephone call, traveling by plane or train, staying at a hotel, or shopping for food. In order to enable readers to build and retain the new vocabulary, the book affords many opportunities to use the new words. Each chapter is divided into subtopics. The student acquires a few new words about a specific topic and is immediately directed to practice them in a multitude of exercises. Answers are provided so the student can make prompt self-correction.
