Online Picture Dictionary

Post by dude » Tue Aug 10, 2004 10:33 pm

Here's a colorful, fun ESL activity:

http://www.picturelanguage.com/PictureDictionary.html

The pictures and symbols are the same as those used at:

www.coolpicmail.com

(see previous post to this forum).

Would welcome any suggestions or feedback.

Thanks!

Couldn't get the dictionary to work. :( Using IE 5.1 on a Mac OS9.1 Maybe it's too outdated, but most everything else works. Or maybe I don't know what to do :p

Sorry - don't have an apple computer to test it on. I tested CoolPicMail on an old Apple machine and it didn't work. Will try to upgrade to older Apple machines in the future. The software is tested and proven to work on Windows 2000 and XP with IE and Netscape.

on line picuture dictionary

I looked at non nouns and found that in the examples the pictures didn't match the sentence eg for big the example was "She ate a big piece of pie" but the the picture was big and little circles and for broken the example usage was "Is your car broken?" and the picture showed a pencil. Maybe this could be look at.
