The five languages included in this dictionary are English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. It would have been nice to round it off with Portuguese due to its proximity to the other romance languages, but space was likely an issue. I have the hardcover and it is fantastic. I am a visual learner myself and have studied the latter four languages a couple extensively (English I know pretty well, I would hope). So whom is this book for? I wouldn't necessarily suggest it as a dictionary per say although it certainly could be used as one. What I am attempting to do is go page by page and learn all pertinent words, all languages at the same time. Will I complete the whole book? Probably not anytime soon, but it's worth a shot. I know all the English words, most of the German, a good portion of the French, many of the Spanish and hardly any of the Italian. My hope is that I will be able to access the word I need in conversation by thinking of the image and actually visualizing the word list. That way if I know I remember a word like le cou (neck in French) then I should be able to access el cuelo and il collo in some remote brain file system. Overall an excellent resource.
