Képzszótára

Képzszótára is a Hungarian term that translates directly to "picture dictionary" or "image lexicon." It refers to a collection of words accompanied by their corresponding visual representations, typically illustrations or photographs. The primary purpose of a képzszótára is to aid in language learning, particularly for beginners or young children, by associating new vocabulary with concrete images. This visual reinforcement can make the learning process more intuitive and memorable.

These resources can take various forms, from physical books designed for children to digital applications and online resources. In a traditional book format, each page or spread might feature a theme, such as animals, food, or common objects, with each item labeled with its name in Hungarian and a clear image. Digital képzszótárak often include interactive elements, such as audio pronunciations of the words and simple games or quizzes to test comprehension. The effectiveness of a képzszótára lies in its ability to bridge the gap between abstract linguistic symbols and their real-world referents, facilitating a deeper and faster acquisition of vocabulary. They are a widely used tool in early childhood education and second language instruction.
