We're proud to introduce... 'The TALKING DICTIONARY'



Static elements that remain when user scrolls down
 
 The Talking Dictionary is the only audio visual language reference tool that links key words and phrases to detailed full-colour illustrations in a comprehensive book and incorporates Callfinder® technology where readers can listen to the pronunciation of terms and phrases in different languages, using the Callfinder® device.

Here are a few of the features that might tickle your fancy. 

Immersive experience with the Callfinder® that engages the senses
·         Users have the opportunity to experience immersive language learning while limiting screen-time that other, similar tools demand.  Not only does the Callfinder® provide pronunciation of words, but there are also sound effects such as animal calls and musical excerpts to enhance understanding and language acquisition. Language learners build vocabulary and confidence as they SEE, HEAR and LEARN.  (Old Callfinder® models work with The Talking Dictionary – simply purchase the book and the sound files from Briza directly.)

Available in seven South African languages
·         So far, seven South African languages are available; English comes standard, and the package includes one (additional) language of your choosing (standard package includes dictionary, language Callfinder® and wordlist booklet for the language selected). Every language sought thereafter, will be sold separately and includes a language sticker that activates the respective language on the Callfinder®, as well as a wordlist booklet containing the spelling and translation of all English words, for that language. The content has a delightfully South African appeal that reflects the country’s beautiful cultures, and it’s the first of its kind.
Languages: English (standard), Afrikaans, isiXhosa, isiZulu, Setswana, Sesotho, Sesotho sa Leboa

Comprehensive content
·         The Talking Dictionary features 19 main themes that are subdivided into topics that cover everything from the universe, science and the natural world, to home life, culture and sports. These are visually appealing, rich in detail and make language learning fun and applicable to the world we live in. There are over 2,000 colour illustrations and more than 5,000 words as well as additional terms, abstract nouns, verbs, current terminology and common phrases.  The book can be thoroughly enjoyed even without the Callfinder® component. It is a user-friendly, must-have cherished family book to be enjoyed for years, at school and at home, and in fact just about anywhere!   

Pre-order today (FREE shipping within South Africa until the end of August 2019) before stock runs out!

How to prepare a sustainable winter garden in 7 easy steps

" Horticulturist and founder of Keith Kirsten Horticulture International," Mr Kirsten shares his knowledge and expertise with you and with us, specially for #GardenMonth.  They say that winter allows you to see the bone structure of the landscape and isn’t that an intimate treat that nature affords us? While you observe the elegant starkness around you in autumn and winter, beauty is not only visibly present to those of us willing to see it, but it’s also a budding anticipation in the air; something lies beneath, waiting. As gardeners we need to honour this elegance and the arrival of that special something by putting in the time, ahead of time, all the time. These labours are meticulous and essential – as well as rewarding and therapeutic – investments of pure faith and love that we get to reap throughout the year.   Clothing your garden in fresh spring blossoms is a process that starts now just as the glory of your winter vegetable patch has been a long t...

Deck the halls with books

Chapter 2018 ends with a bang Our seasonal customers are what keep some booksellers going. So identify the sure wins beforehand and hone your sales efforts pre-emptively so as to maximise the holiday rewards.  Arguably the entire year leads to this moment. Let’s examine some of the highlights that may affect Santa’s supply. What packs our shelves Various occasions throughout the year mould the contours of bookshelves. Trends are as unpredictable as they are fluctuating meaning it’s tricky to align your vision with the customer’s needs, wants and expectations; survey the landscape, starting with the calendar in retrospect. Cape Town’s Open Book 2018 that was held in September was a literary celebration. Highpoints include #cocreatePoetica and of course the illustration masterclass while RAP, poetry and the spoken word are still platforms for young people to voice concerns and solutions to mutual challenges epitomising the younger generation’s desire for access...
