Dictionaries in English
The English language is rich in a variety of vocabulary. There are many reference books covering different aspects of the language. These can be subject guides, encyclopaedic guides, explanatory dictionaries and translation guides. They are suitable for different levels of language proficiency. For example, you can easily buy reference books for elementary or high school students as well as for academic English learners.
Why are paper dictionaries still relevant?
A paper dictionary, if it is of high quality, is sometimes more reliable because its content is the responsibility of specific authors and publishers, rather than anonymous compilers and editors. Yes, it may contain fewer words, but their meanings are explained more accurately. In addition, it should be remembered that anyone can make changes to online dictionaries. A printed edition guarantees the accuracy of the information.
In addition, paper pages help you focus on your work, as they do not distract you with notifications from messengers and endless tabs. You don't have to constantly follow links, which makes the learning process more comfortable and effective.
How to choose the right dictionary
Understanding your own level of English is an important step when choosing a dictionary. Levels can range from beginner to advanced (A1-C2). Determine your level so that you can choose a reference book or dictionary that suits your needs and learning goals. In general, any dictionary will provide you with reliable and valid information regarding the pronunciation and lexical meaning of a word, and the correct translation.
