New Bilingual Visual Dictionary (English–Arabic)

I bought this book to help an Arabic speaking adult friend to learn English. The book may be helpful in some ways but has its limitations. Almost all the words in the dictionary are nouns with very few verbs, adverbs, or adjectives. So there is an entry for “teapot” but not for “work” or “tired”. The publisher has simply illustrated a book and then had it translated Into many different languages for different editions (English-Bengali, English-Korean, English-Arabic, etc.) So while it may be bilingual, the book is not bi-cultural. The book has an index in English but not in Arabic.
