Introduction (#u926c5250-06ce-519c-86d8-f0bb6ea9fef9)
The Collins Primary Illustrated Spanish Dictionary is a new bilingual dictionary aimed at primary school children who are starting to learn Spanish.
Access to a dictionary which is pitched at an appropriate level is a vital part of the language-learning process. The content of this dictionary has been carefully selected to reflect current trends in primary education and help children with acquiring basic language-learning skills.
The key aims of the Collins Primary Illustrated Spanish Dictionary are:
• to develop both language skills in Spanish and language learning skills in general
• to cover the four key areas of language attainment: listening, speaking, reading and writing
• to reinforce key aspects of the language by the use of notes and feature boxes throughout the entries
• to extend cultural awareness by providing information about Spain, especially where traditions differ from those in Britain
The Collins Primary Illustrated Spanish Dictionary supports language learning in a number of specific ways:
• it develops children’s knowledge of how language works by encouraging them to understand, analyse and use simple aspects of grammar
• it develops children’s individual learning skills by using a wide range of notes that explain things in a simple but interesting way
• it enables children to make comparisons between Spanish and English by encouraging them to explore the similarities and differences between the two languages and cultures
• it introduces young learners to all the basic elements of a bilingual dictionary and provides detailed instructions on how to get the most out of using the dictionary
The Collins Primary Illustrated Spanish Dictionary is presented in an easy-to-use format which is intended to appeal to children of primary school age. It provides lots of simple, relevant examples and tips on how to remember words, and how to avoid some of the pitfalls of translation. It also features key phrases, illustrations and information about life in Spain, making it an invaluable and exciting new resource.
Using the dictionary (#u926c5250-06ce-519c-86d8-f0bb6ea9fef9)
Step one:
Pick the right side
Remember there are two halves to the dictionary. If you want to know what a Spanish word means, look in the first half of the dictionary.
If you want to translate an English word into Spanish, look in the second half, which is English-Spanish. It comes after the supplement in the middle of the dictionary.
1 Which of these words would you look up on the Spanish-English side of the dictionary?
verbrotherhorseteléfono
2 Look at page 51 of the dictionary. Is this the Spanish side or the English side? How can you tell?
3 Look at page 150 of the dictionary. What is shown at the top of the page, down the side?
4 Is invite the first or the last word on page 437 (#litres_trial_promo)?
Remember that you do not read across the whole page in a dictionary – you have to read down the columns.
5 Which word comes immediately after aburrido (#ulink_1abf0d34-67dc-57f9-bc17-d6a0abc0a18f)?
Step two:
Find the right word
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Words are in alphabetical order in the dictionary – like names in the phone book, and in a school register. The alphabet is shown down the edge of each page of the dictionary. You can sort words into alphabetical order by looking at the first letter of each word.
6 Can you put these names in alphabetical order?
María, Isabel, Juan, Jorge, David, Arturo, Carmen
When two words start with the same letter, look at their second letters.
