Spanish dictionary and grammar - Christine Lea

The Oxford Paperback Spanish Dictionary and Grammar is a complete and handy reference to the Spanish language. It has been designed to meet the needs of tourists, students, and business people alike, and for learners of all levels. The dictionary offers extensive guidance to the meaning and use of over 45000 words and phrases, and 70000 translations, while the grammar describes international Spanish, providing Latin-American usage wherever educated usage differs markedly from the European. An appendix is also included, summarising major points of difference between European and American usage that are not covered in the body of the book. An appendix on pronunciation is especially detailed as the abbreviated accounts of Spanish pronunciation given in books at this level are frequently misleading. Equal prominance is given to comparison with Bristish and American Pronunciations of English with American variants given where necessary.;This book is intended for students, teachers, and anybody needing a handy reference to the Spanish language.
