It is a book of wordless pictures designed to help learners build vocabulary and conversation skills in any second language using the American English word list in the book, a bilingual dictionary, one of the \u003ci\u003eLexicarry\u003c\/i\u003e word lists, and\/or someone who knows the language. There are 13 foreign language word lists available at ProLinguaLearning.com to use with this book for learners of languages other than English. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book has 142 pages of full-color drawings illustrating functional language and vocabulary in 190 situational and topical contexts. This amounts to over 4500 everyday words and expressions. The pictures make conversation and interactive learning easy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough learners can use \u003ci\u003eLexicarry\u003c\/i\u003e working on their own, they learn best by discussing the objects, places, and activities in the drawings, working together in pairs, as a class, or with a tutor or native speakers. The illustrations are not labeled, and this naturally challenges and excites students' imaginations and helps them retain the language.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are seven sections to the book: 1) Functions, 2) Sequences of Actions, 3) Related Actions, 4) Operations, 5) Topics (vocabulary items related to one theme), 6) Places (scenes\/ rooms and the things we find and do there), and 7) Proverbs and Sayings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatrick Moran has worked with second language teachers worldwide in a variety of contexts, including Peace Corps training, refugee resettlement training, cultural exchange orientation, and graduate degree studies at the SIT Graduate Institute in Brattleboro, VT, USA.
