We are becoming a pictographic society- symbols are used in so many public locations to present information.
We acquired The Firefly Five Language Visual Dictionary: English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian (REF P 361 C668 2004).
It is fascinating- pictures with the word in a column next to the picture. The topics are divided by subject. It's not alphabetical by the words.
It's fun to just thumb through the book looking at the pictures and comparing the words. Spanish, French and Italian are so similar since they are based on Latin. English and German have common roots in the Anglo Saxon heritage.
