Advanced Learner s English Dictionary Hardcover – January 1, 2006

As I see it, the 5th edition is the best learner's dictionary available on the market. I favor this edition over the latest 6th edition. Specifically, the full-sentence definitions really make learning new words a breeze, and the middle column on each page makes the main content - the definitions - look more straightforward and well-organized as well. Also, the software installed from the CD-ROM features a popup window that can always effectively capture a word on the screen within an IE web browser window, as long as you put the cursor on that word - much more effectively than its counterparts, such as Longman, Oxford and Cambridge learner's dictionary.

It was recommended to me for my students with nearly everyone I knew! The book gives both slang phrases and more proper ways to phrase things, and the example sentences are very helpful! It's nice to know that my students don't need a dictionary for their dictionary!

Good while not suitable to read on kindle. But curious why I have to write something. Can I not just start look up words?

I like the way the dictionary is laid out and also the many sentence example it gives. However I was disappointed that I did not receive the cd. What can I do about that than to purshase another book.

I love this dictionaries content as a foreign learner. It's content should has 5 star.But in the kindle edition , "there are many words left blank", same as Tim Tseng said.abet,abroad,abstention,accredit,advent,aflame,antecedent,bowler,boxer,buttress...With many flaws, still I use it as 1st dictionary.I hope update and correct it soon too.

it is a very good dictionary that help me to become a good English learner, this dictionary describe the meaning of the word in a precise and simple way, there are also many good exemple of the vocabulary.

Definitions are clear with simple vocabulary. With other english-english dictionaries the problem is to understand complex vocabulary in the definitions.It provides a lot of examples that makes the definition even clear.I absolutely recommend it to second language speakers.

I have windows 7. For the price I paid, you would think the CD would work. It is a great dictionary for students with language based disabilities.

Ich habe mir dieses Buch für die Schule bestellt da es bei uns ausverkauft war.Allerdings habe ich das Buch auch nur in der Schule verwendet.

Il dizionario Cobuild contiene numerose parole a cui non corrisponde alcuna definizione. Evidentemente, c'è stato qualche errore nella conversione dall'edizione cartacea a quella elettronica.

Usage scolaire .

Das Buch kam schnell!Gute Händler, schnell und reibungslos abgeschlossen.Sehr zu empfehlen. Danke :)Mehr kann ich nicht sagen! :D
