An English dictionary is the most important thing you will need when learning English. A good dictionary will help you learn hundreds of new words, improve your pronunciation and grammar.
When you think of a dictionary, you usually think of a bilingual dictionary, such as an English-German dictionary and a French-English dictionary. There is also another kind of dictionary: an English-English (monolingual) dictionary. Such a dictionary is written only in English. English words are defined or explained in English. English-English dictionaries are better than bilingual dictionaries in that English definitions are real English phrases with grammar and words.
There are two kinds of English-English dictionaries: dictionaries for learners and dictionaries for native speakers. Dictionaries for native speakers are used by Americans, Britons, etc. to look up very difficult words, such as tintinnabulation. Dictionaries for learners are used by people who are learning English as a second language. Dictionaries for native speakers usually have more words than dictionaries for learners, but the definitions are more complicated, and there are fewer example sentences.
If possible, get a software dictionary instead of a paper one. Software dictionaries let you look up words very quickly. What.s more, a computer dictionary has more space than a paper one, so it can give more information or it can present the same information in a clearer way. In many software dictionaries, you can listen to recordings, too.
A good dictionary must give example sentences for every word. Example sentences are not just helpful — they are actually more important than definitions. While a definition tells you the meaning of a word and sometimes gives you some grammatical information, example sentences can have more advantages. They let you check if you.ve understood the definition correctly, show you how to use a word in sentences and program your brain to produce correct English sentences.
It is a good idea to have at least two dictionaries: a large one to use at home, and a small one to carry with you. It is an even better idea to have at least two large dictionaries. Two example sentences are better than one. With more examples, you have a more complete picture of how a word is used and you can express more in English better.
