My Chinese Picture Dictionary is designed to help students to learn Chinese words in meaningful contexts through engaging illustrations and photos. It includes 15 thematic units, 142 graphic topics and more than 4,000 commonly used words. The 15 units are categorized according to the International Curriculum for Chinese Language Education published by the Office of Chinese Language Council International. They are further specified into 142 topics to cover all aspects of daily life. The word lists of the dictionary include both single word entries and phrases. Nouns, verbs as well as many prepositions and adjectives are defined by situational artwork and presented in thematic scenes. To demonstrate the natural use of words in conjunction with one another, many phrases are also introduced.
