Can you learn spanish by reading a spanish dictionary?

i bought the pimsleur approach cd's and im learning a bit by listening to that but i also want to be able to read and spell in spanish aswell, and i have an english/spanish dictionary lying around somewhere.|||I don't think you can learn just from the dictionary.. BUT..


I too have used the Pimsleur cds and this is what I did and it has helped tremendously.


I listened to the audio and whenever I got to a word I didn't know how to spell or was unsure of how it was spelled, I jotted it down. Then after each lesson I would consult my handy little dictionary to see if I had even remotely spelled the word correctly. I also bought the very inexpensive 501 Spanish Verbs book as an additional reference because as you will see, you will do a lot of different verb conjugations and it really helps to wrap your head around those too. So I just put little markers on each verb as I came across them.


Ok this is getting long, but it should really help you. So now if you check all of those as mentioned above and THEN once you know you have the right spellings write them in a little notepad, and each day you go to the next lesson, reference your notes, it will really help you to visualize and memorize all the words you have already learned.


Hope this helps





Anna|||well, Spanish is more complicated. Sometimes, you have to convert irregular verbs that wouldn't appear on a dictionary. Example:


(Go: Ir)


Present:


Voy


Vas


Va


Vamos


Van


Van


Past:


Fui


Fuiste


Fue


Fuimos


Fueron


Fueron


Future:


Ir谩s


Etc.





Nevertheless, some words are diferent for male or female, and some are the same


Example:


Cheff


El cheff, la cheff


El juez, la jueZ





El es idiota, ella es idiota





So, for conjugation and grammar it's not a great idea|||definately not! you have to know the structure of the language. if your parents handed you a dictionary when you were little and said "here, good luck learning english" would you know the language? no :) your best bet is native speakers, spanish classes and music. good luck!|||You can learn vocabulary from a dictionary. You won't learn grammar, punctuation, conjugation, etc. So it doesn't hurt to read one but you have to learn grammar or you won't make any sense.|||Not only do you have to know words (you could learn that from reading the dictionary), but you have to know the grammar as well. I don't think the dictionary teaches you grammar...





=)|||No.

Where can I find a spanish dictionary add-on for firefox?

I use the "Dictionary tool-tip" add-on for firefox to double click words that I don't know the meaning of, but it's only in English. Is there a similar add-on but in Spanish?|||yes but I can't send a link because you have to click on add-ons then search for 'Spanish dictionary' for yourself - about five options come up and 2 of these look promising. Always get the ones with the green 'jigsaw' piece if you can as these are the official ones.

What happened to the spanish dictionary?

You used to have an awesome Spanish-English dictionary off of the Yahooligans! section of your site. It seemingly disappeared, although I found it to be the most useful tool when writing Spanish papers or emails. I can't seem to find another one on the web that has the context as well as the translation.|||yahoo believes english should be the only language spoken now, ever since it became a law in the US

Is there a rather simple Spanish dictionary for foreigners in the world?

I mean a monolingual one, no English, just Spanish.





Do not tell me to go for Real Academia Espa帽ola since it is too darn hard. It is not the one I want.


Something in a similar style to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary should be fine.|||RAE is the best and a very complete dictionary. Anyways, if you want one with easier definitions, you can use this:





http://www.elmundo.es/diccionarios/





There you can chose:


- Lengua Espa帽ola


- Sin贸nimos


- Ant贸nimos


- Espa帽ol a ingl茅s


(...)





You have to chose "Lengua Espa帽ola" and then write the word you want... If you don't understand the definition, you can also check "sin贸nimos"... It may helps you!





I hope I helped! :)

What is the best translation dictionary (English - Spanish) for a Smartphone?

I need an English Spanish dictionary for my smartphone. It'd be good to have 'flash cards' and sound.





Also, good to be able to change translation direction without loosing the word I've started entering as I'm always enetering the wrong direction.





Best of all would be verb conjugation but I haven't seen any that do that :-(





I'd really like opinions from people who have actually used them ...|||I've got an Italian-English dictionary on my Nokia 95 8GB and I'm very happy with it. It's the Oxford University Press Concise Paravia by MSDict. I'm pretty sure there's a Spanish equivalent.





It doesn't have flash cards or sound but it does allow you to change direction while retaining what you have already input. It doesn't do conjudgation but does show unusual verb forms. It's really a very comprehensive dictionary and I find it easy to use and very useful when reading in Italian
