Diccionario en Imágenes / Picture Dictionary #01

Question

LA SALA DE ESTAR - 01

Bien, tenemos los 'flashcards', las palabras del día (en español y en inglés), varios juegos de vocabulario, pero hasta ahora no teníamos un diccionario de imágenes.
En un diccionario de imágenes cada palabra es 'ilustrada', es decir, presentada de forma visual.

Estos diccionarios son de muchas maneras una excelente herramienta de enseñanza.
Puedes utilizarlos para:
- Aprendar las palabras
- Conocer la forma correcta de escribirlas
- Describir o definir cosas
- Hacer frases con una o mas palabras
- Describir el tema de la imagen en general
- ....

Para evitar la infinita gran cantidad de imágenes, trabajamos con imágenes acerca de un tema en específico.
El tema esta vez es LA SALA DE ESTAR y porque esta es la primera imagen sobre este tema, vamos a empezar de forma sencilla.
Probablemente ya sabes la mayoría de las palabras.

¿Cómo jugar?
Escoja un número. Apúntelo y escriba tanto la palabra inglesa como española al lado de él.
Juega una palabra a la vez, por lo que otros también tienen la oportunidad de jugar.

Una vez que una imagen esté listo, pondré imagen y palabras en un post, por lo que finalmente podamos ordenate todas tema imágenes perfectamente.

LIVING ROOM - 01

Okay, we have the flashcards, the words of the day, several vocabulary games, but up till now we did not have a picture dictionary.
In a picture dictionary each word is 'pictured', made visible.

Picture dictionaries are in many ways an excellent teaching tool to use:
You can use them for
- learning the words
- learning the correct spelling
- describing or defining words
- making sentences with one word
- describing the whole theme picture
- ....

To avoid infinite large amount of pictures, we work with theme images.
The theme this time is THE LIVING ROOM and as this is the first picture on this theme, we will start simple.
So you will probably know most words already.

How to play?
Pick a number. Note it down and write both the English and Spanish word next to it. Play 1 word at a time, so others also have a chance to play.

Once an image is ready, I will put picture and words in 1 post, so that eventually we can arrange all theme images neatly.

Answer 1

2 - pillows - almohadas

I'd opt for cushion - almohadón. And save the pillow - almohada for the bedroom ;-) - mcl020, Jul 20, 2012

What about cojín for cushion? - Enderby, Jul 21, 2012

Answer 2

19 - lámpara - lamp

7 = the lamp (the whole thing) and 19 = that upper thing from the lamp and 20 = the feet of the lamp on which that upper part is resting. - mcl020, Jul 20, 2012

19 would be lampshade en ingles, not sure in spanish. - RichSean1725, Jul 21, 2012

Answer 3

espejo - miror # 9

Answer 4

#4. La pata de la mesa - table leg

I admit it's unclear, but 15 = la pata de la mesa (and 4 is the whole 'thing') ;-)))) - mcl020, Jul 20, 2012

la mesa - JoyceM, Jul 20, 2012

15 pata de la mesa - table leg

Important note: BiG numbers are the whole items and SMaLL numbers are the details or parts of the whole item! I have not been clear about that!

Answer 10

5) Alfombra = carpet/ an area rug.

or carpet? - Juliss, Jul 20, 2012

I think 'carpet' is the better option. - mcl020, Jul 20, 2012

A carpet is usually something that is installed wall to wall. A rug is a certain size, it can be big or small. The one in the picture I would call an area rug. - katydew, Jul 20, 2012

Thank you both.^^ - Juliss, Jul 21, 2012
