Customer Reviews

Valuable resource

The Longman Dictionary of the English Language is one of the most inclusive, easy to use resources of its kind. Each word is not only defined, but used in a sentence context that is easy to understand. A wealth of clear rules of grammar, as well as illustrations of situations make this a valuable resource. I use this dictionary for teaching adult literacy and ESL classes and recommend it to my students.

Good for English Learners and ESL/EFL Teachers

I bought this dictionary because I am an ESL teacher. I think it should be in every ESL/EFL teacher's library as well as every English language learner's bookshelf. The definitions are simple and easy to understand and the examples are plentiful. The university where I received my MATESL degree uses this dictionary as well and recommends its English learners buy a copy.

Very Good Dictionary

We bought this dictionary for general and school use for our kids and it does the job quite well. I Highly recommend it!

My best guide in English learning and using process.

I'm a Junior at a 4-year college; since my initial schooling for learning English up to this date, I've relied on the Longman Dictionary Of American English, A Dictionary For Learners Of English. It has been my best guide through the process of learning and using English.
