English Dictionary – for all

English Dictionary

Many people use the English dictionary as they do not have a complete knowledge of English and yet have to speak to people who know only English. Schools, colleges, offices, hospitals, theaters, parks, etc all the places need English as a language to communicate with people. Learners of English should always have a dictionary at home so as to search for the word and the meaning of it. There are many types of dictionaries that are published in India. One can use the regional language dictionary to English dictionary, for e.g. Hindi to English dictionary, or Bengali to English dictionary etc. Various foreign languages too have English dictionaries like the Chinese to English dictionary or the French to English dictionary. The English dictionary prices are set according to the amount of content in it.

Many times students are supposed to have a dictionary in the class and are compulsory in the school. It helps students learn the language well and also find synonyms and antonyms in them. Students also find that whenever they look up for a meaning in the English dictionary, they come up with another difficult word that also needs meaning. This means that the student will need an easier dictionary that explains the word and does not give another word to it. An elementary learner’s dictionary can be the right one for the student.

Many of the students prefer English to English dictionary and are available at different levels. The intermediate learner’s dictionary can help the student know that if the word you want the meaning of is not in the dictionary, then the word is not easy one and needs a different level dictionary. The English dictionary also helps with the grammar and helps in understanding the noun and the adverb of the word. One can also use bilingual dictionaries to know the exact meaning of the word and also understand the word better. But most of the bilingual dictionaries leave out important information and even the grammar part, thus giving you limited information about the word. They also do not have the definition of the term, phonemic script for pronunciation etc.

English dictionaries can help students to improve their understanding of the language and have a good collection of words while speaking in English. As English is spoken all over the world, many people have taken up English classes and have improved their English using the dictionary.
The English dictionary price in India can vary according to the level of the dictionary.
