French-English Picture Dictionary (First Bilingual Picture Dictionaries) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
It's never too soon to start teaching boys and girls a second language, and this book presents pages filled with cheerful color pictures that help teach French words to English-speaking children in early grades. It presents more than 350 illustrations of familiar objects, with nine pictures on each page. Every picture is labeled with its English word, followed by its French equivalent. The translated word is followed in turn by a phonetic spelling in smaller type. Words are grouped according to themes, such as Sports, The Classroom, Fruit, Vegetables, Party Time, Weather, and many others. For example, the nine illustrations on the Sports page show pictures with bilingual labels for football, table tennis, skiing, fishing, gymnastics, athletics, cycling, swimming, and basketball. Here's a fun way for younger English-speaking children to build a basic vocabulary in French.

This book has little pictures and the English and French word below. The French word pronunciation is also listed. The person who wrote this is horrendous at crafting pronunciations - if you pronounce anything like it directs you to, your kid will sound like they learned French from a deaf foreigner. In Minnesota public school I learned better French pronunciation! I was conflicted as to whether I should throw the book away or just get rid of the pronunciation part and I ended up using a Sharpie to permanently draw over them. Don't get this particular book - if you want your baby to learn French, there are many other options out there.
Very good book. My wife and son are learning french together. Since she is home with the kids, she does not always need me to tell her how to pronounce the words as they give a very close phonetic to french.It is very well illustrated with simple drawings and very colorful. My 2 years old son is quite excited about this book!
Includes an absolutely irritating pronunciation guide next to every word. Ruins the book.
I wanted to keep this for myself. Great way to learn basic French. I bought this for the same friend that I bought the Swedish book for. Her background being French. I thought both books would be a wonderful way for the child to learn of his background from day 1.
My (2&1/2 yr old) granddaughter loves it. She understands French, but only speaks a few words yet. So it's a lot of fun going through the pictures and reading the words to her, which reinforces the ones she already knows and helps her discover some new ones.
I highly recommend this book for bilingual households especially if one parent/care giving does not know French. I bought it for my 21 month daughter and she loves it since there are many pictures. This dictionary is organized by themes (one page for items in the living room, the bedroom, farm animals, feelings...) Words are in both languages with the pronunciation. It is a great book to expand their vocabulary
My bilingual toddler loves going through this book, pointing out each object that she recognizes and learning the words for the ones she doesn't yet know to say. While I would love a slightly more robust picture dictionary, it's a great start. For our purposes, the pronunciation suggestions for the French aren't needed (and honestly, I would call them misleading, at best), but I could see that they might be useful in the case of families who aren't already using the language on a regular basis. This book is great for building vocabulary, whether for children or for those who are learning one or the other language.
This has been a great success for my granddaughter who suddenly decided to teach herself French. It is fun to help her pronounce words and to have a 'secret' language with her!
