Cambridge Word Routes Anglika-Ellinika is one of a unique new range of bilingual reference books for learners of English. Words and phrases are organised around key concepts and near-synonyms in English are clearly differentiated. Word Routes contains: 1) 450 word groups organised either by topic (e.g. Hospital, Aircraft) or concept (e.g. Understand, Strength), and built around a core vocabulary. This section is highly illustrated with line drawings. 2) Language for Communication: 48 sections comprising a unique collection of everyday conversational phrases for different situations (e.g. Expressing Surprise, Telephoning), and their nearest equivalents in the learners' own language. 3) An alphabetical index of all English headwords (including IPA pronunciations) and an alphabetical index of all translations. Word Routes gives clear and detailed information on grammar and collocation, and has thousands of example sentences, as well as extensive coverage of idioms. The learner's own language is used in all explanations, and the needs of Greek-speaking learners are specifically covered. American English is included.
