It's not something that appeals to a lot of people when they learn Italian. Stamping words. But it is part of it. You will simply have to expand your vocabulary to be able to make porridge from that Italian speech waterfall. Learning words can be done in different ways. You can make your own lists of words you come across, and learn them with their translation. Then look up the words in a dictionary. But that is a bit boring and requires quite a bit of effort. The publisher has come up with something for this: an Italian-Dutch image dictionary.
You can't look up words in the Picture Dictionary, but it is a good way to expand your vocabulary. The words are divided into themes. For example: the house, plants and animals or travel. In that section you will find pictures of all kinds of words that have to do with that theme with their translation. It's actually a very funny book to flip through and work on your Italian vocabulary while playing.

It also ties in with modern ideas in the field of education. That you learn better when you address more functions in your brain. With the pictures you also learn visually, by sight. It learns differently than just recognizing the letters in the word. Not only do people learn differently, people also differ in the type of intelligence. Not everyone has the verbal-linguistic intelligence that comes with the traditional dictionary.

I think this is a really nice book to take with you on vacation and work (not too hard) on your Italian. If you study a theme every evening, you will make nice leaps in your language proficiency. How do you learn your words?
