Die aanleerderswoordeboek is 'n herverpakte uitgawe van die gewilde Tweetalige Aanleerderswoordeboek. Die woordeboek maak Afrikaans en Engels maklik vir almal vir wie die twee tale 'n eerste of tweede addisionele taal is. Die aanbieding van die inhoud verskil in twee belangrike opsigte van die in ander tweetalige woordeboeke - In die Afrikaans-Engelse deel verskyn die Engelse voorbeeldsinne eerste, sodat 'n gebruiker dadelik kan sien hoe die vertalings in konteks gebruik word. (In die Engels-Afrikaanse deel is die volgorde omgeruil.) In die eerste voorbeeldsin van 'n inskrywing word die trefwoord oor die algemeen nie verbuig nie. Dit word gedoen om veral aanleerders nie te verwar nie. Die eenvoudige aanbieding van die materiaal, die eenvoud van die woordeskat en grammatikale inligting maak die woordeboek 'n staatmaker in die klaskamer en by die huis.

Die Leerderboek by die Aanleerderswoordeboek is 'n pretboek wat spesiaal opgestel is om saam met die Aanleerderswoordeboek gebruik te word. Die een helfte van die title bestaan uit Afrikaanse en die ander helfte uit Engelse oefeninge en blokraaisels. Die inhoud van die title is veral daarop gemik om gebruikers te leer hoe om 'n woordeboek met vertroue te gebruik. Boonop brei die oefeninge gebruikers se woordeskat uit en verryk dit hulle taalkennis van beide Afrikaans en Engels deurdat die oefeninge binne die raamwerk van die Nasionale Kurrikulum vir Grade 5, 6, 7 en 8 se leeruitkomste vir taal (huistaal en eerste addisionele taal) opgestel is. Aan die einde van elke oefening word daar aangedui op watter leeruitkoms(te) die bepaalde oefening fokus.

Sinonieme en verwante woorde is 'n handige gids wat die gebruiker lei om vir elke situasie die regte woord te vind. By die keuse van woorde wat in die plek van die soekwoord gebruik kan word, word nie net sinonieme gegee nie maar ook woorde wat andersins aan mekaar verwant is. Onder voertuig word byvoorbeeld verskillende soorte voertuie gelys. Dit laat die werk in 'n groter mate beantwoord aan die talle behoeftes van gebruikers wat hulp soek by die keuse van die regte woord of term. Die titel maak die woord los wat op die tong le. Dit help onderwysers, leerders en studente, skrywers, joernaliste, politici, blokraai-invullers en elke taalgebruiker om die regte woord op die regte plek in te span.

From "Geronimo " to "gesundheit" to "haminahamina" to "holy" "mackerel," and from "abracadabra" to "zoinks," Mark Dunn and Sergio Aragones show you interjections like you've never seen them before.
Often thought of as unnecessary verbal fringe or simply linguistic decoration, interjections ("ahem," "howdy," "mamma" "mia," "pshaw," " tally-ho," " whoop-de-do") may well be the most overlooked part of speech in the English language. "ZOUNDS A Browser's Dictionary of Interjections" focuses the spotlight on this most deserving (and sometimes most demented) grammatical group. A light-hearted look at more than 500 interjections, "ZOUNDS " explores the origins of these essential words and highlights the contributions of these previously unheralded parts of speech.
Perfect for both word lovers and the casual reader, "ZOUNDS "brings together the linguistic talents of Mark Dunn, author of the award-winning novel "Ella Minnow Pea," and the graphic hilarity of Sergio Aragones, the legendary cartoonist and contributor to Mad Magazine, for a delightful romp through grammar, culture, and the English language.
Famous interjections include:
"Eureka "
-Archimedes
"Badabing-badaboom"
-Tony Soprano
"Stuff and nonsense "
-Alice, "Alice in Wonderland"
"Bah Humbug "
-Scrooge
"Fiddle-dee-dee "
-Scarlett O'Hara
"Leapin' lizards "
-Little Orphan Annie
"Nanoo, nanoo"
-Mork, from "Mork & Mindy"
"Dyn-O-Mite "
-Jimmie Walker, "Good Times"
"Bully "
-President Theodore Roosevelt
