Visual dictionaries featuring pictures and captions are quite popular among English learners today. They are informative, visual and not replete with unnecessary text. But such means of learning English have a significant disadvantage: the pictures that are freely available, as a rule, are compiled by foreign authors, they do not have transcription and translation into Russian. Sometimes the picture itself is ambiguous: for example, when depicting a rose and the caption “flower”, one might think that flower is a rose (a more specific designation), and not a flower. Therefore, word lists by topic with transcription and translation are still one of the most effective ways to learn English - especially for beginners.
This article offers you an overview of the list of words, phrases and expressions on the most popular topic "school" with transcription and translation into Russian.
