You can also find an alphabetical learner´s dictionary in the back, which is helpful for looking up the meaning of a word rather than relying on how it’s translated in context.

 

Alphabetical Dictionary
If you encounter a Spanish word you don´t know, and you can't deduce it's meaning through context or require extra clarification, flip towards the back of the book where you can look it up alphabetically.
