Shahi – A visual dictionary

Shahi is a visual dictionary that combines Wiktionary content with Flickr, Google and Yahoo images.  All you need to do is type in your vocabulary word and you get images from Flickr, Google and Yahoo plus a definition and example sentences from Wiktionary. If you want a better view of the images that   Shahi finds in relation to the word, then just click on the image and it enlarges.

This is an excellent tool  to memorise vocabulary. However, you might still need a written definition to understand abstract concepts.

Why don’t you try with the new vocabulary we are going to deal with in next lesson?

Look up : arsonist / witness / pickpocket / hijack / mugger / smuggling / defendant / barrister / attorney

Hope you find it interesting!   Let me know.
