Hey Guys!
Last week in class we tried to find the best and most helpful dictionaries. But when I openend the document again I noticed that most of them expept 1 or 2 are monolingual. Well, I know that we should rather look up words in a monolingual dictionary than in a bilingual but sometimes there is vocab/are phrases you really don't know how to translate. But which dictionary I can rely on?
I used to use pons.eu for a long time but I was told not do so because it is not always trustworthy. Therefore I rather look up words at http://www.dict.cc/ which I can really recommend to you because of several reasons: while writing the word in the search bar you already get suggestions you can click on. You will also find at least one example sentence, several phrases and a pronounciation guide. There are some tips to find the word/sentence/phrase easy and without complications and a vocabulary trainer as well.
What is also worth trying is http://www.visualthesaurus.com where you can find kind of bubble networks to the word you're typing in which can be very useful!
And I know, learning is not always funny and the weather outside doesn't contribute to a happy mood but never forget: positive thinking is the best way to success! I have something for you: http://www.emergencycompliment.com - an internet site which makes you compliments to cheer you up, isn't that nice? Maybe it helps :)
Have a nice Sunday,
Kathi
