The Chinese Picture Dictionary is a multimedia courseware that aims to expand the vocabulary of beginning-level Chinese language students. It presents several hundred pictures based on familiar settings of daily life. For example, food, clothing, school, dining hall, classroom, stationery, dorm, furniture, building, library, street, transportation, sports, vegetables, and animals. The pictures are divided into categories with approximately 20 pictures each.
Each picture is presented in an individual page, along with buttons students can click to view the depicted vocabulary word written in Chinese script, view the pronunciation spelled out in Pinyin romanization, and view a sample sentence using the word. In addition, students can listen to native speakers of the language pronounce the word.
