  The Oxford School German Dictionary is the perfect bilingual dictionary for pupils learning German. The two sides of the dictionary are clearly divided into German-English and English-German, with an essential verb table list in the centre. The headwords are carefully selected to suit beginners, and particular attention is given to computing, word-processing, and ICT terms. In line with syllabus requirements, there is a special section dedicated to vocabulary and phrases on German life and culture. The simple two-colour layout, the alphabet down the side of each page, and the large clear print will help pupils navigate around the dictionary and take them straight to the translation they are looking for. This dictionary is exceptionally easy to use, and comes in a handy pocket-size format with a durable linen-finish cover.
