The Diccionario Oxford Pocket para estudiantes latinoamericanos de inglés is specifically designed to help Latin American students improve their English skills.

It has broad and up-to-date coverage of Latin American Spanish, including many Colombian, Peruvian, Chilean and Mexican words, for example ACPM, brevete, bolsero and changarro. It contains the latest vocabulary, for example ciclovía, franquicia, privatizar, fashionista, SIM card, and tweet.

This dictionary gives wide coverage of both American and British English, with translations in Latin American Spanish. It shows pronunciations of all English headwords and has clear and accurate definitions and translations, with thousands of authentic and up-to-date example sentences.

The Oxford 3000™ keywords are highlighted to help students identify the most important words to learn.

Usage notes shown in blue boxes throughout the dictionary help students build vocabulary and use words correctly. The notes explain difficult or confusing words or phrases and give extra information about grammar and American and British culture. Using this dictionary, students not only learn the meaning of the word, but also how to use it correctly.

The "I can talk about" section helps students to expand their topic vocabulary and then encourages them to make active use of it. This section also helps students to develop their dictionary skills and to make the most of the dictionary.

A communication section gives useful examples of everyday English and provides practice exercises to develop students' speaking and vocabulary skills.

Illustrations help students understand difficult words, and study pages provide useful information for reference, including help with writing letters and emails and common text message abbreviations, false friends, modal verbs, prepositions, geographical names, and colour maps of the United States of America and Canada, Great Britain, and Australia and New Zealand.

The 32-page Picture Dictionary, included in the dictionary, shows words in lexical sets covering transport, animals, the body, clothes, food and drink, meals, fruit, vegetables, homes, buildings, school, jobs, stores, sports, leisure, and weather.
