Lesson 1c
For this exercise we are to use the Spanish or French language versions to look up information on an animal. I have to admit I know very little of either of these languages, so it's a good thing there are pictures! For someone who is learning either of these languages, the picture/word combinations would be helpful in learning vocabulary. After looking at this site, I can understand the frustration one who knew very little English would have if trying to research in the Kids World Book English version. This would be of help in finding it in your language (provided that was Spanish or French) and then being able to translate it into English. I found it interesting that the French Visual Dictionary gives the option to translate words into both Spanish and English, but the Spanish Visual Dictionary gives the option to translate only into English (not French). The option of having an article read aloud in Spanish could be a great asset to those whose native language is Spanish.

The translation feature can be very useful! It's nice to have the option to offer these to patrons who may need access to them!
