Book Description
Indispensable learning aid includes definitions of common Spanish words arranged by such categories as foods, numbers, days of the week, months, colors, seasons and family. At the book's heart is a dictionary, from a to zapato, where each word is used in a Spanish sentence (with English translation) demonstrating its proper use.

Could use a little more........2007-10-09
A better than fair, useful beginner's book. Translates the words and uses them in sentences.
However, I could use perhaps another thousand or so words! Still, better than a lot of beginner Spanish books!
Great, small book!.......2007-09-29
I love this book! It is very easy to use to help increase one's spanish vocabulary!
simple and highly useful.......2007-09-27
It includes verbs and many daily common words. It's not extremely deep or complicated, but it is definetly useful if you are trying to learn spanish. Definetly worth it
SayHola dot com uses this book...........2007-09-24
Our online course at SayHola dot com teaches you how to speak the Spanish Language but this book is a great tool building Vocabulary. We recommend it.
Spanish learners must own this!.......2007-07-02
This is the easiest way to learn vocubulary period. I am using Rosetta Stone Spanish and complimenting that with some easy reading. It's fun to read the Spanish word and sentence, make a best guess at a the translation, and then have the whole sentence translated right there. Used this way, you create instant chemical (long term memory) without tedious memorization. Happy learning.
Customer Reviews:
Is mine the same book??.......2007-09-15
My elementary school has added ESL students this year and I'm looking for help. I bought this book based on the reviews I had read. This is a DRY DULL textbook with no practical information. Don't waste your money!!
Words Their Way is the Best! .......2007-04-23
I use Words Their Way in my classroom all the time. I love the way it teaches my students to spell logically and developmentally. I can tell a lot about my students understanding about how English words are written and pronounced by the way they read and spell a word. This book is specifically about English Language Learners and that is an even greater asset. I have used Words Their Way with my ESOL students for awhile but this book really has a great understanding of my students and a better focus on them. I would still include the main book and the books for each developmental spelling stage in the program, but this book helps immensely. It is even better for teachers with ESOL students in their classes who have no or little training in how to teach them. Or for people who want to understand a bit more - like me!
Teachers Need Words Their Way.......2007-03-08
If teachers don't have this book, they need to buy it. It will teach them everything they need to know about literacy.I have had the pleasure of meeting the author and he is certainly one of the best in teaching literacy.
Customer Reviews:
A great summer read.......2007-06-27
I enjoyed this book so much, I'm getting another copy for my daughter to take on vacation. It was interesting to learn not only about life in France but about Kristin as she adjusts to her life there. She observes herself as acutely and entertainingly as she does her new home. I found the book while browsing the travel section, I'd never heard of her blog before this - the reviewer below me is right, she's got a terrific blog with beautiful photos, but I think he's way off about the book. I found it worked both as a story read straight through, which gives a fascinating and satisfying total picture, or as vignettes read as separate chunks.
Pure charm from the first page.......2007-06-09
I first found out about Kristin's writing from her "word a day" emails. It was a natural progression to get her book and it is thoroughly charming cover to cover. This is the book that I pick up in between my trips to France to remind myself of all the things I love about the country and its people.
If you've never been to France, read it and you'll be on the next plane. If you've been to France, read it and you'll be returning again soon.
I hope Kristin soon publishes another volume!
Hey! They're just like us ...........2007-06-02
The value of this charming and instructive book by a natural writer and observer of the (French) social scene is that it makes picking up new vocabulary easy because you remember the lovely stories in which they were packaged.
This is part soap opera, part cultural exchange, part charming honesty, part ingenuousness, and, overall, a very natural and entertaining way to enhance one's French vocabulary at the same time one gains an understanding of the culture that comes along with that language.
It is delightful to be a fly on the wall during the culture shock of a French major from the American Southwest finding love and community in La France.
I have been a reader of her blog for a while and benefited from that, but it is a different, and better, experience to read some of her best columns in book form, which, by the way, suggests in its design the south of France, a Mediterranean touch stylewise. It's a handsome dustcover.
This unique book will have you learning French while chuckling at her account of getting 'hung up' on entering the church for her wedding. Such refreshing candor! You'll love this book.
Addenda:
Kristin's web columns are so good I wondered how I could access as many as possible of her previous work. Voila! As a Google mail holder, I found could go to one of their services called Google Reader which allows one to add RSS (really simple syndication) feeds to that page and access them in a convenient fashion (summary or listing). When I added the URL for her webpage, Google went out, got the RSS and placed it on a list to the left of the page. I found the LIST format most useful for scrolling backwards in time more than a year to see all her French Words on which I could click to get the original page with all her vocabulary suggestions and her delightful stories.
Her genius is that she places new French vocablulary gently amongst a story, otherwise in English, that is so interesting that one wants to read it to the end, and then look over the associated words and phrases.
In effect, one learns new French words from the context in which they are placed in the English language story. Enormously clever and effective. It resembles the way we learn vocabulary in our own language: from context.
FRESH.......2007-05-17
A WONDERFUL FRESH BOOK THAT ADDS DIMENSION TO WORDS IN FRENCH TO MAKE THEM MORE MEMORABLE FOR A STUDENT. LIGHT AND PERSONAL AND A GREAT AID TO MAKE A LANGUAGE YOUR FRIEND. WELL DONE!
Essence of experience..........2007-04-17
The great thing about the stories are the truth behind them...
In the vernacular phrase of our day, "It is what it is...", great stories, by a great author, written in a great part of the world as back drop.
Bravo Kristin for living your dream and telling others about it!

Customer Reviews:
ECELLENT BOOK!.......2007-04-11
GOOD BOOK, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ONE ON DVD, PLUS SALHA ALSO
Mumtaaz.......2006-11-23
I think it's an excellent book for beginners. The only problem is the transliteration for the tough Arabic letters (Ayn, Ghayn, Khaa, Ha). Overall it's a solid building block.
Good place to start.......2006-07-10
This is a good beginners book. If you already know the alphabet and want to incorporate some simple vocabularly this is for you.
It helps if you can already read the Arabic script, but its not necessary as the book gives the transliteration too.
I found it most useful for teaching children. The flash cards and simple exercises keep it interesting.
Works extremely well re script - not so well re sound.......2005-12-17
Original review (prior to formal Arabic instruction): This book was my "ice-breaker" to learning Arabic, for personal interest in Christian-Muslim dialogue, and professional interest in Islamic world view(s). The key to this book's exceptional utility is the ease of associating sound patterns of phonetic transliteration of words for everyday objects (household items, clothing articles, etc.) with the written patterns of Arabic characters. Although I totally lacked familiarity with the Arabic alphabet, the correspondence between "sound and sight" was remarkably easy to decipher, granted the basic level of vocabulary. While I don't expect more advanced vocabulary or grammar to be nearly so easy, the book accomplishes its objective: Removing the intimidation of a completely unfamiliar alphabet. Well done!
As an aside, I've found that the ability to read music (a skill I've only recently acquired) helps significantly. It's a very short "leap" from reading pitches represented by non-Roman characters (musical notes) to reading phonemes represented by a non-Roman alphabet.
Addendum following instruction: Since writing the above review, I've completed a semester in beginning Arabic, and I now have a mild-to-moderate criticism of the book. There are basic sounds and sound patterns that simply cannot be represented by English phoneticisms, period. So for the purpose of learning the *sounds* represented by Arabic *script*, English phoneticisms are misleading in some cases, and flat out wrong in others.
For those already familiar with Arabic sounds, phoneticisms or transliterations are merely "codes" rather than representations. Unfortunately, this book gives the (often false) impression of *representing* the sounds. Readers who get a false sense of confidence in mispronunciations learned from this book (as I did) may be discouraged when they first encounter the difficulties of correct pronunciation. That's where my music reading analogy falls apart: In music training you actually hear the notes represented by the symbols, whereas the edition of this book that I reviewed did not include a CD.
The book still works very well re demystifing Arabic *script*, but the apparent representations of Arabic *sounds* should be taken with a grain of salt. For the English speaker, many Arabic sounds and ways of verbally connecting sounds are totally unfamiliar. To learn to properly pronounce Arabic on even the most basic level, inter-personal instruction is an absolute must. Recordings are good supplements for "ear training," but they cannot provide the correction essential for properly *verbalizing* Arabic sounds.
As an example of why this correction is essential, well into my first semester of very exacting instruction, I could detect the anglicized mispronunciations of acquaintances who've "picked up" Arabic overseas without benefit of intensive instruction. In contrast, on the first day of my second semester, my new teacher, a native *Saudi* Arab speaker, took me aside and remarked on the correctness of my pronunciation. Interestingly, my first teacher was a native *Sudanese* Arab speaker, indicating that modern standard Arabic really is just that - a standardized way of speaking as well as writing across nationalities.
Good - With One Problem.......2005-03-19
The title is only half true. Yes, this will give you your first 100 words in Arabic, with neat flashcards and some good exercises. For the price it is reasonable, although 100 words is really not much (even if you've never studied French or Spanish, for example, you probably know well over 100 words in each).
On the other side, this book will not teach you the Arabic script. That is OK, since it provides both Arabic and transliterated Arabic on the flashcards. It gives you a chart of Arabic letters and a page with general principles of joining letters. You cannot reasonably go from that to unraveling the Arabic writing. That part of the title should be cut out. You need a book like Awde's "The Arabic Alphabet" a cheap and useful guide for learning the alphabet.
Book Description
In the colorful tradition of Hemingway's A Movable Feast, Jerry Hopkins recalls his first decade as a Bangkok expatriate by profiling 25 of the city's most unforgettable characters. Among them are the man thought to be the model for Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, an advertising executive who photographs Thai bargirls for Playboy, an Oscar-winning screenwriter who moved there to die, a Catholic priest who has lived and worked in the Bangkok slums for 35 years, a circus dwarf turned computer programmer turned restaurateur, three Vietnam war helicopter pilots who
opened a go-go bar, a pianist at one of the world's best hotels who ended up on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list, a detective who tracks runaways who fake their deaths and a documentary filmmaker who lives with elephants. All of them "escaped" to Thailand to reinvent themselves and live out their fantasies in one of the world's most notorious cities.
Customer Reviews:
Absolutely wonderful!.......2007-04-12
As an expat living in Bangkok, I can assure you Hopkins knows this city well, and the characters he describes are the most interesting bunch of characters you're ever likely to read about. Full of fun and panache on the surface, it also has a core of considerable importance: the fact that a person can reinvent him or herself and probably nowhere as easily as in Bangkok. Highly recommended.
Brings me back to Bangkok.......2007-03-11
I lived in Bangkok for a year and experienced many of the things written in this book first hand. Fortunately my wife is Thai and explained a lot of them but this book goes the extra mile and is an interesting and fun read.
It's easy to be a "fish out of water" in Bangkok if you're not familiar with the customs and etiquette. This book is highly recommended and Vermonter dot com approved!
An interesting and entertaining read.......2006-11-06
This book devotes one chapter each to a fascinating cross section of expatriate individuals( mainly Americans ) who, like the author, are now living, or have lived, in Thailand.
As Jerry Hopkins righly points out,adventurous travellers such as these do tend to be far more interesting than the average person who does not venture far, or for very long, from their native country and it's familair surroundings. This is well illustrated by the amazingly diverse characters and lives vivdly described here. Highly recommended.
The Most Off-Beat People You'll Meet--And Like!.......2006-08-03
I got this wonderful book last fall while I was visiting my "second home" of Chiang Mai, Thailand and fell in love with Jerry Hopkins' writing style at once. In this book, he has nailed so many of the "better known" expats in Thailand and done so in a honest way.
I have met some of these expats so I feel right at home with the manner Jerry uses, especially for my favorite author, Jason Schoonover.
With each chapter, Jerry gets into telling details about each man living permanently in Bangkok and why they decided to chuck living in the West to instead become expatriates in Thailand. I felt at home with each and every chapter!
If you want a better insight as to why certain people would rather be in Thailand than their native countries, purchase a copy of this wonderful book at once and have fun with it. I warn you, however, that as you get further and further into it, the more likely you'll be to buy some tickets for the next flight from your home to Bangkok!
Book Description
In the age-old tradition of teaching language through rhyme and verse, My First Book of Tagalog Words introduces Philippine language and culture to preschool children in a playful and non-intimidating way. The ABC structure provides a familiar framework that encourages fun and easy learning. Its bold and bright illustrations aim to make children laugh and enjoy the learning process.
Customer Reviews:
Its just OK........2007-10-04
Its ok, but not great. My son and I love the graphics and colors, but the text is lacking. The author writes a disclaimer in the beginning that she added non-traditional letters like C, X, and Z etc. (due to the Spanish and American influences on the country), but what disappointed me was that the traditional sound "Ng" from the real Tagalog alphabet was missing. So many Tagalog words start with "Ng", so she shouldnt have left this out. Otherwise, its ok.
children's book of tagalog words.......2007-09-02
simple reading book that goes through the alaphabet with tagalog words.
my husband who is filipino enjoyed the book and looks forward to reading it to our son.
Fun to read!.......2007-07-11
I bought this book for my two children. My son who is 2 and my daughter who is 7 months. I am half Filipino but can not speak Tagalog fluently. The chosen entries for the book brought back quite a few memories. I hope that with a book like this one and others if I can find them will help the kids become familiar with Tagalog. So far, they seem to enjoy it. My son loves the bright illustrations. I like the simplicity. I just wish I could find another version for American born Tagalog speakers.
My First Book of Tagalog Words.......2007-06-20
I'm disappointed with this book. I was expecting more words in tagalog but there are only 26 words - one for each letter of the alphabet. The last letter of the alphabet Z is for zipper which is the same as English.
My First Book of Tagalog Words:Filipino Rhymes and Verses.......2007-05-21
Good for kids who are starting to learn few words of Tagalog. I just thought all the words in Rhymes are all written in Tagalog and an
explaination in the bottom, but over all it is good for kids who don't have Tagalog background.
Customer Reviews:
Good but not great.......2005-08-27
This book is not encyclopedic as I was expecting, much of its merit is in the exercise section. For school instuctors, this book might be perfectly suitable, but for readers who are more interested in linguistics, historical etymologies...this one just isn't enough. Too few resources I have to say.
The major good part, to me, clearly buries itself deep, I mean, things like "dun means hill fort in Celtic" and "chester means camp in Latin" are extremely helpful but they are not listed or indexed, which means you have to read every sentence to pick them up yourself.
And the IE language family tree on the first page is scholarly well drawn. It could just be better if the author adds a linguistical timeline at the end of the book as well, something like from the Hittie empire, to persia, to rome, and to the germanic migration, along adds some tidbits of historical information. Plus a hypothetical Indo-European people's migration and origin map won't hurt either.
So perhaps this book is to be used by teachers as a textbook or an instruction one, not for oneself.
A tremendous asset to teachers and students.......2003-11-14
This is the book of choice for use in my classroom. Students find it easy to use and understand. For my purposes, I find the book to be logically arranged and clearly written. It is very accessible, and I encourage students, teachers, and philologists alike to use it.

Nice Book!!.......2002-11-04
I found what I have been looking for! A book who extends your English vocabulary systematically. I strongly recommend this book particularly for English learners. (I'm from Turkey)
With carefully chosen chapters and exercises, I'm sure you will learn a lot of things about Latin and Greek words in English. I memorized many difficult English words with the help of this book. I want to thank to the authors.
Very good book! I read it three times!
Nice Book.......2001-05-17
I have had such a great success with "Greek and Latin Roots in Everyday Language" published by the Perfection Form Company (not carried by Amazon) and I was looking for something more to supplement my teaching with. Although the information contained in "English Words - From Latin and Greek Elements" is of a high quality, and of the sort that my students would benefit from, it is given at a level which requires intelligence and patience. The book might work well for Juniors and Senior high students at advanced level; however the book, I believe, was not designed to be copied. It is tightly formated and each lesson builds upon the next. You might try the aforementioned book for your typical high school student.
Excellent systematic vocabulary builder.......2000-12-17
As the reviser of this book--not the Photographer (there is not a single picture in the tome)--I must correct a few misimpressions given in the other reviews, while touting the systematic format that separates Dr. Ayers's book from its competitors. To be sure this is a textbook--the best selling text in this subject area--divided into two halves, one dealing with English words derived from Latin, the other dealing with English words derived from Greek. Each lesson has some introductory material; these intros vary: some explain how English builds words from Latin and Greek bases with an explanation of how dictionaries present such information, some are mini-lectures in linguistic processes that characterize English words, some deal with how the form and meaning of words change with time. Each lesson presents a list of bases, prefixes and suffixes for the student to memorize. These are set forth clearly in caps, and there are many examples given for each item. The lesson ends not with quizzes but with words derived from the elements presented in sentences that are written by skilled writers of English. All of the information is well indexed at the end. This systematic approach gives the student control over the most frequently encountered word elements in English coming from Greek and Latin. As a consequence of her studies, such a student will have stored in her brain the keys to about half of the harder words in English including the many thousands of technical words invented each year--especially those medical and biological tongue twisters invented by the biological and medical communities. With the keys in her head and the word in its context before her, the student will often undertand the author without having to look up words that often are not yet even in the most recent dictionary. This is power; but power is not easily gained in any field of endeavor. The book can be used by a diligent person for self-study, but most students will need a structured environment in which to learn its contents. TD Worthen

A review on the 400 Must-Hav Words for the TOEFL.......2007-06-10
This book does offer a nice variety of academic vocabulary. The fact that it is not only organized by academic discipline, but also by theme is a real bonus since iBT TOEFL draws topics from various disciplines. It also provides grammar and usage in the context of a text. This allows the learner to experience the "target words" in context. It's well done.

Profanity in German.......2007-07-29
A lot of people try to avoid learning swear words in other languages. I don't understand why. These words are part of the language, and you shouldn't avoid them because they make you feel bad. Barry Farber and A.G. Hawke say in their books that you shoud avoid learning profanity in other languages. I say you should as long as you avoid SAYING them. Just KNOW them. I discuss this in my new book below.
Brandon Simpson, Author of Learning Foreign Languages: Everything You Need To Know and If You Ain't Got No Grammer...
Ich habe mich vor Lachen fast in die Hosen gemacht!!.......2007-05-17
Okay, that title phrase "I almost peed myself laughing" was not in the book, but it well sums up the content. Some parts are not for the faint of heart or those of the late Jerry Falwell's congregation because it is full of colorful expressions like the S Word and anatomical slang. It is quite humerous, especially the illustrations.
Deises Buch ist NICHT beschissen!
AWSOME!!.......2006-04-25
This book is a must have!! I would recommend having a slight knowledge of the language before hand, but it is a great book to get you out of the classroom and into a german speaking environment.
SLANG BOOK.......2006-03-10
This is almost a Slang Dictionary, which you can find funny and FUN info regarding the German Slang. If you love to use colloquial language and slang in your conversations, this book will help you out.
I was very satisfied with this book, since it gave me "precious" info on a parallel terminology I wouldn't find anywhere else!
Interesting.......2005-07-25
A little out of date, I'm sure. Definitely fun to read, but not exactly the first words you'd want to learn/use on a trip to Germany. Great for learning what NOT to say!
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Resource for ESL Teachers!.......2007-05-24
I was lucky enough to be in a situation where my adult ESL classroom had enough in-classroom copies for all students to use during classtime. I used this almost everyday. It's a fantastic way to teach new vocabulary, especially when you combine its use with other teaching tools, such as acting out motions. I often had my students use the books to quiz each other. This is a good resource, and if you can get enough copies for everyone in your class to share, DO IT!
Very helpful.......2006-08-19
I host foreign exchange students and the first few weeks this helps them out till they get just a better grasp of the English language. Most come with a very good understanding, but if they need to go to the doctor's or something this picture dictionary is just the thing to help out. It is useful around the house also.
Very Highly Recommended.......2004-01-27
One of my specialties is vocabulary, so I'm always looking good visual dictionaries. I've bought half I've found, and most of the rest are on my shopping list. This is a very close second to the Oxford Picture Dictionary as my favorite. It's not as comprehensive and the illustrations are not as good, but the topical arrangement is better and it's easier on your budget. The authors have written several other excellent ESL books. Two of their vocabular books include a basic version of this one and Day By Day: English For Employment Communication. Their Foundations is a conversation book but is also a good vocabulary builder.
Ultimate ESL Resource - - I Love It, My Students Love It ! !.......2000-11-06
By the authors of SIDE BY SIDE this is a much more colorful and better organized picture dictionary than the formerly more popular OXFORD PICTURE DICTIONARY. Whenever I bring it to class, if the students don't have it, the first thing atleast 70% will ask me is "Where can I get it ?" - - used with the accompanying flash cards (not included) you can teach entire (and substantive) lessons with just those two things alone... and even without it, you can use it to expand amply from whatever text book you're using. The chapters on the household, occupations, places around town, work activities are especially useful. In my begining classes we learn how to ask each other questions about these subjects, and begin all our classes discussing what we did over the weekend, what we did at work etc. etc. We talk about our house, our family... and all these topics are with Level 1 students, eye to eye (pair work, group work, class discussion)and facilitated by lessons from this book. - - Pictures get students talking and open them up and this is the ultimate resource ! ! !
As a tip, the students love looking at the pictures and discussing them, so to keep activities interactive, have students share books... or make worksheets where the students have to exchange information ! ! !
Great reference book!.......1999-09-02
Illustrations are somewhat dated and the colors on some pages need to be sharper but the book is quite thorough and a great pictionary overall.
