A valuable resource.......2000-10-24
As a teacher of English as a Second Language, I have used many different picture dictionaries. The Oxford Picture Dictionary for Kids is very well organized and uses a group of characters that provide continuity throughout the dictionary. These characters provide a continual story line so that I use the dictionary not only for "finding words," but also as a base for teaching content-area information. The pictures are clear and well-defined and cover a large vocabulary spectrum.

Excellent Resource.......2007-09-27
This book is an excellent resource for an ESL class or for someone learning Spanish. The entries are accompanied by pictures and organized in a logical way for reference. Like most Spanish Dictionaries, this is more geared towards Spain, but good for Latin American Spanish too. We live in Mexico and are learning Spanish. We refer to it often. It's fun to just browse through as well. Excellent investment.
Great noun resource for students of English.......2007-05-28
I'm an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher and use these dictionaries in class. My students inevitably want to buy their own copies and are delighted to find that they are available in bilingual editions for many languages.
The categorical organization of the dictionaries and the inclusion of many everyday items makes them very valuable for those students who are living in the U.S. (and presumably other Western English-speaking countries). My only criticism would be that they don't include any computer-related terms; this could be addressed in a new edition.
Speaking of which, I haven't switched to the so-called "New Oxford Picture Dictionary" because it has far fewer vocabulary items.
Despite the bilingual editions, I don't consider these books to be as useful for English speakers trying to learn a foreign language as for English learners living in the U.S., because the content and categories reflect shopping, homes, services, clothes, and so forth as they are experienced in the U.S. and similar countries.
Another potential area of disappointment is that the OPD should not be one's only English dictionary, since, being pictorial, it is suited to nouns but not to verbs or concepts. As a noun dictionary, it's excellent.
I have not used the extensive additional teaching materials that are available for these dictionaries.
The Oxford Picture Dictionary, English-Spanish Edition.......2007-04-05
This is a wonderful book and very useful to anyone learning spanish or english.
Incredibly Useful.......2006-12-27
I work in a restaurant staffed with mostly spanish-speaking workers so I bought this book to assist in communication. The organization of terms and the comprehensive nature of the book make it invaluable. My Mexican co-workers want copies for themselves!
A Great Resource.......2006-11-11
Trying to learn even the basic rudiments of a new language requires much memorization and practice. Good visual aids are a must unless you are especially gifted in languages (or grew up abroad). This dictionary is a great aid to learning important everyday vocabulary. The organization by themes (food, health, clothing, work, everyday language in different settings) make it easy to use if staying in a Spanish speaking country for a while. I am currently enrolled in a beginning college level class and use it for review and new words. The visuals are easier for me to remember than straight flash cards, although I use both.

the basic oxford picture dictionary (monolog).......2003-06-03
This book is very deceptive. I wanted to get a book on creole
called "the basic oxford picture dictionary English/creole"
and I ended getting this one instead. the two book have the same cover but they are very diferent. one does not have anything to do with creole but the title start the same and the cover look the same. this can be confusing for first time buyer of such a language book. I know that there are a lot of people out there probably making the same mistake. this should be fixed so one does not blow there hard earn cash on mailing back and forth.
Not Creole.......2003-03-19
Although you could never tell it by reading the other reviews, this book has NOTHING to do with Creole. It is an English picture book - you see a picture of a ladder and it's referenced to the word "ladder". It's a lot of pictures and the English word for each item. Before you buy, look at the cover and excepts - I didn't.
I think what you need is "The Basic Oxford Picture Dictionary (English/Haitian Creole Edition).
Just don't buy this book unless you're trying to teach or learn basic English.
Not Creole.......2003-03-19
Although you could never tell it by reading the other reviews, this book has NOTHING to do with Creole. It is an English picture book - you see a picture of a ladder and it's referenced to the word "ladder". It's a lot of pictures and the English word for each item. Before you buy, look at the cover and excepts - I didn't.
Looking back, I think what I needed was "The Basic Oxford Picture Dictionary (English/Haitian Creole Edition). But the way you're pointed to this English version when you search on "Haiti" is misleading - no, make that incorrect.
Please don't make the same mistake I made and buy this book - that is unless you're trying to teach or learn basic English.
Nice Adjunct to more comprehensive Creole texts.......2001-12-30
Attractive, detailed pictures and clear labeling make this a great- and cheap- adjunct to more comprehensive texts in learning very basic Creole. It is primarily useful in helping you to learn the names of common objects and simple actions. There is no instruction regarding grammar and usage. If you are in a situation in which you need a quick introduction for an upcoming trip to Haiti, I would pair this with the "Survival Haitian" booklet and cassette available from the Kansas University bookstore website. If you are in for the long haul and want comprehensive instruction, try the "Ann Pale Kreyol" text and tapes and the Haitian Creole Learners Dictionary put out by the Creole Institute at Indiana University.
I use this ESL book to teach Kreyol at Duke University!.......2000-08-07
I realize that this is an ESL text, but I have been using this picture dictionary since fall of 1997 to teach Haitian Kreyol to Medical and Divinity students and faculty at Duke University, as well as to youth and adult groups traveling to Haiti on mission trips. It has proved true that a picture speaks louder than words. The bold graphics make the vocabulary learning a wee bit more exciting than they would working only with text. Also, I appreciate the practical mix of verbs and adjectives, as well as nouns. I recommend it to everyone who is teaching or studying Kreyol, especially beginners.

good, but would be better on a CD format.......2007-03-20
The Oxford listening exercises tape has listening activities that correspond to the Oxford Picture Dictionary and the teacher's manual. You will also need the teacher's manual to make full use of the cassette. While I appreciate having this as a tool, it would be nice if the publisher came out of the dark ages and provided the material on a CD that users could cue to the exact lesson needed.

Perfect for school-aged children.......2005-10-19
I like this book because it is specfically made for school aged children. I am currently tutoring 11 and 13 year old boys, and I was previously using the more detailed Oxford Picture Dictionaries with them, but found this book today at my library. This is the only ESL picture dictionary I have found that specifically focuses on school subject matter. It contains illustrations of school aged children. However, I would like to see verbs commonly used, i.e, read, write, study, add, subtract, etc.
Very Simple and Very Effective.......2005-04-30
The content areas being social studies, history, science, and math. As with the Oxford Basic Picture Dictionary, the design is simple and uncluttered. On the left page are the words, accompanied by individual, small but colorful illustrations. On the right page is a large, full illustration containing all the illustrations from the left page. In other words, the right page is the left page in context. Rather like understanding where the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle go by looking at the box cover. A user friendly and effective strategy.
The Best Oxford Dictionary Ever!.......2003-12-26
Most of the Oxford Picture Dictionaries seem too complicated or too cumbersome to use easily. This dictionary can really help a student trying to do homework in English. It can be a great help in fact.
