The new third edition of the Longman Dictionary Of American English is out and includes a thesaurus and profiles 52,000 words and phrases, including all words on the Academic Wordlist, featuring not just definitions but examples. The thesaurus boxes explain synonyms and antonyms: add tips on grammar and key word highlights and you have a lasting library reference. No university library can afford to be without a copy of the Longman Dictionary Of American English in their Language Studies and/or General Reference collections.
The dictionary does have some odd symbols and pronunciation keys, not usual for an average American dictionary, which could cause a confusion to most American students. I think they use the International Phonetic Alphabet.
This an exceptionally good dictionary. It explains the meaning of words in an easy understanding format. The use of color on the pages makes the pages easier to understand than most other dictionaries.
This is only dictionary allowed for NAC testing by NACES. Excellent for ESL students who may be unsure of common English words, comprehension. Only defines word and gives no nursing or medical information.Several ESL students with quite good English found it had helped them when testing!
Studying a dictionary is a good way to extend your vocabulary. You should try it. More reading more better you will be.
