We began a two day lesson on using a Spanish-English dictionary: the symbols for the different parts of speech; how to read the lists of idiomatic expressions; and how to determine which of the listed translations is appropriate in context. We completed and discussed a worksheet with exercises over the more basic information. This isn't as easy as it sounds!
