Collins Gem?

2/20/2014

New today on this page is the widget/link to the Collins dictionary and thesaurus. One of the most useful dictionaries for language learners to have is a THESAURUS, because it teaches you about the web of words of similar meaning and helps you discover the difference in use and collocation.

Many years ago I came across the small "Collins Gem" English Dictionary & Thesaurus (1990, HarperCollins) in a London Dillon's bookshop (Goodge Street, I think) and I still find it absolutely indispensable. It really is a "gem" -- full of useful definitions, succinct and informative on a reasonably large selection of words, yet small enough to fit in your pocket. Let's see if the website can live up to the excellent reputation of that handy little reference book. (On the Collins website you can also find a German<>English dictionary.)
