Hi,

I'm not very sure whether it's right for me to put this question in this section. Actually, I find that the following dictionaries are very useful for (advanced) learners of English whose mother tongue is not English:-

- Longman's Dictionary of Contemporary English (my favourite)

- Oxford's Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English

- Collins Cobuild English Dictionary

- Cambridge Advanced Learners' Dictionary

As the native English speakers, do you use any of the above dictionaries? Or another kind of dictionaries?

Cheers,

Kathy

My favorites are Cambridge and dictionary.com.

If I don't get satisfactory answers from the above two, I usually go to onelook.com where it will connect me to various online dictionaries.

Cheers.

To err is human, to forgive divine. 잘못을 저지르는 것은 인간이지만 용서할수있는 것은 하늘과 같은것.
