The popular Pharos Bilingual School Dictionary (2020, 9th impression)
boasts a brand-new orange cover!
This dictionary contains almost 11 000 Afrikaans and English headwords
with translations and full sentences. It is suitable for learners in
grades 7–12 whose home language is Afrikaans or English, as well as for
additional language. For this reason, headwords, phrases and
expressions have been included that learners will encounter most in
their school work and in everyday life.
The dictionary is easy to use, and will help learners build their
vocabulary and improve grammar. Headwords are printed in bold, blue
type and display word breaks and primary stress. Inflections, such as
plural and past tense forms, degrees of comparison, as well as context
guidance appear in full. One or more practical translations are
provided for each headword and full sentences in Afrikaans and English
illustrate the use of each sense of a headword.
Other user-friendly features:
- Labels are given in brackets to help with context, for example,
subject-specific words, figurative use of words, and other additional
grammar guidance, such as “usually in the plural”.
- Common phrases and expressions.
- Abbreviations are included in the alphabetical position.
- Word families: derivatives of root forms, together with the new
part of speech (abbreviated).
- Clear cross-references from one headword to another
- Handy information boxes with additional information about
grammar, spelling and usage.
A bonus supplement with additional information on parts of speech,
words easily confused, and idioms and proverbs, makes this perfect as a
one-stop reference in both the classroom and at home.
