Common misconception
A bilingual dictionary lists words from A-Z in one long list.
A bilingual dictionary is split into two sections. These is German to English, and English to German. Each section lists words from A-Z. To find the English meaning of a German word, look for it in the German to English section, and vice versa.
Teacher tip
If paper dictionaries are unavailable, consider using online dictionaries in a school computer room.
Equipment
Bilingual German - English dictionaries are useful for this lesson, as is access to an online bilingual dictionary.
