Description:
Oxford's Starter dictionaries break fresh ground in language learning, providing essential information in a unique way. Specially designed for beginners, these indispensable reference volumes are not merely scaled-down versions of larger dictionaries. Rather, every effort has been made to approach the foreign language from the point of view of the beginning student who may be unfamiliar with the conventions of the more traditional bilingual dictionaries, which assume a basic knowledge of the language. Most Starter dictionaries contain nearly 20,000 words, covering everyday vocabulary and core survival phrases. From irregular verb forms to common idiomatic usage, these accessible books offer generous coverage of those aspects of the foreign language that are more likely to confuse English speakers. Thorough yet user-friendly, these innovative teaching tools are unparalleled in the world of language reference.
Expand description
Created especially for beginners, this groundbreaking new dictionary offers color headwords and translations, no confusing abbreviations, warning symbols to show potential problem areas, thousands of example phrases drawn from real-life situations, and full "romanization" of the Chinese text with Chinese script following in simplified characters. It also includes a guide on how to write Chinese characters and is full of useful information on the pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese. As well, word patterns and constructions from language areas, such as dates and telling time, are grouped together to show similarities and differences.
