Product Description
Easier to use than a full adult dictionary but much more detailed than a typical children”s reference, this book is a perfect fit for middle school students learning Spanish. The clean, readable layout and eye-catching two-color design will appeal to students and teachers alike.
With more than 22,000 words and phrases and 45,000 translations, the dictionary contains up-to-date vocabulary in both Latin American Spanish and American English, focusing on topics most relevant to students, such as school life, sports, and leisure.
Entries and translations are easy for students to understand, with each sense of a word listed on a new line and no abbrevations: all labels, such as part of speech and noun gender, are written in full. The School Dictionary is packed with other helpful features, including
• 500 thematically grouped illustrations, covering topics such as colors, the human body, and telling time
• usage examples showing the headword in context and extensive usage notes
• a 32-page supplement on Spanish and English grammar
A full-featured reference in a format accessible and appealing to students,
the Larousse School Dictionary is the ideal companion to any introductory
Spanish course.

I was very pleased. I received even better than I expected and it arrived timely.
Rating: 5 / 5
pick up a tool that gets the job done. This is a very good dictionary that goes anywhere, and I use it with housekeeping, pantry, and maintenance staff almost on a daily basis. An added perk is that I am learning more Spanish as we go. I highly recommend it.

This is the best beginner to intermediate Spanish/English dictionary I have seen to date. This book helped me to realize that even in the well-established world of dictionaries, there is ample room for innovation.
It contains a mini visual dictionary in the center, between the Spanish->English and English->Spanish sections and provides some basic tips on grammar in both languages, tastefully writing the instructions for Spanish Grammar in English and those for English Grammar in Spanish.
The actual translation sections employ multiple colors, with keywords in yellow, and tactful layout to make it not only easy to navigate, but pleasurable to use. The reasonably small size and stiff turtleback cover make this dictionary just a little too large to fit in a pocket, but still readily portable.
More advanced students of Spanish may also want to add a pure Spanish-only dictionary to their war chest. I suggest that they start with Diccionario Practico del Estudiante, which includes a broader explanation of grammar and more detailed verb conjugations than the Larousse, in addition to being a quality dictionary:

Everything promised in the ads and reviews I read on this reference book is true. I love the highlighted entries and the illustrations. My students (adult ESL learners) love them, too! It’s a great starter dictionary for English or Spanish. Some of the entries are brilliant – look under the entry for the word “it”. This book goes beyond the definitions and succinctly explains the differences between the two languages of the common usages of individual words. I highly recommend this for use in the classroom.

I used this book while taking a course in Spanish at my church. It really helped. I like the idea of using sentences instead of just the usual word explanations found in ordinary dictionaries. I highly recommend this to beginners.
