Seven Language Dictionary HB w/ DJ Hardback book with Dust Jacket edited by David Shumaker Copyright 1978 by Crown Publishers, Inc. French-English * English-French Italian-English * English-Italian German-English * English-German Russian-English * English-Russian Hebrew-English * English-Hebrew Portuguese-English * English-Portuguese Spanish-English * English-Spanish * OVER 115,000 ENTRIES * GLOSSARIES OF PROPER AND GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES " Compiled from the Living Language Courses, the best-selling and most respected language courses in the U.S.A., the Seven Language Dictionary gives special attention to the needs of beginners, students, and travelers by defining every word of each language likely to be encountered in everyday conversation or ordinary reading- the essentials of a working vocabulary. " " Dictionaries are usually planned for those who know the language, with no special consideration for those who are not too familiar with it, and their many alternative definitions of common words are confusing to most people. Eliminating these confusions and contradictions, the Seven Language Dictionary contains from over 12,000 to over 20,000 words and phrases for each language, both in English and the foreign language. It is intelligently structured to provide each language's most common and useful words with phrases and sentences illustrating their meaning and most important functions. For easy usage, the most essential words and phrases are capitalized in bold type, or as in the cases of Hebrew and Russian are indicated with a bullet [ * ] preceding the word, so they can be identified at a glance. " " In effect the Seven Language Dictionary is a phrase book, a manual of conversation, and a dictionary combined. It contains over 115,000 entries and includes glossaries of proper names and geographical names for your convenience and is an ideal companion for travel, business, education, and cultural enrichment. " This is apparently a library previously owned book with several library stamps, stickers and markings. Otherwise, it is in pretty good condition with the edges of the pages yellowed due to aging. No torn or ripped pages. |
