 Living in the U.S.(Japanese) March 1, 2008
Useful for knowing the daily living, or basic culture. And it is easy to read. This book is aimed at kids, but how can I live without these word? There is many fundamentals for living in this country. I could understand many kinds of word visually. In addition to this, the illustrations are enjoyable.
I use this book first, next I want to teach English to my family with this book.

I was very pleased with the product, and I was pleased with how quickly I received it.
 No pronunciation guide under the pictures September 4, 2007
Nice idea, but it does only half the work. It shows you how to write the words and sentences, but not how to pronounce them, which is extremely important for ESL students. To see how a word is pronounced, you have to check the index, which works just like a regular, non-picture dictionary.
Excellent for Teaching or Tutoring Multiskill Classes May 28, 2007

A practical took for tutoring and teaching ESL students of multiple levels. Often, a picture really is worth a thousand words - especially if the student doesn't know a thousand words!
Besides, every single object has a name... and sometimes I can't think of the precise word. This book solves that problem. You ask students to turn to the appropriate page, and at least buy some time. You will almost all find the word and object.
By the way, this book can also be an excellent supplement text for intermediate classes. In a better world of more and smaller ESL classes, you would find this class sets of this textbook in Beginning, High Beginning, Intermediate Low and even Intermediate High classes. Flexible, informative, and practical, the Oxford Picture Dictionary remains a must for ESL programs, instructors, and tutors.
My ESL thinks it's great! August 6, 2005

I used this with a group of adult students from West Africa. They were the ones who decided to purchase the book out of their own pockets because they found it so helpful. They speak French and very little English. I do not speak French. The book was quite valuable.
