Collins Cobuild Advanced Learner's English Dictionary

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!

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.

This is an excellent dictionary and has helped in many ways. Gives clear and complete definitions and I'm glad we got it.

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.

Very good dictionary, very helpful customer service!

Eu achei que o dicionário é bastante [útil no aprendizado da língua inglesa, para o processo de seleção de mestrado e doutorado é necessário que seja um dicionário inglês-inglês para fazer a prova de inglês que consiste na tradução de um texto em inglês para o português.

Recommended by a friend, turns out to be very helpful. Good context to help understand phrases and definitions . Easy to use.

Happy with this and would recommend to all learners. In fact, I wish I’d known about it ages ago. I love that it not only tells you the definition of the word but puts it into context (sentences) to further aid the meaning

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