Customer Reviews

Important tool for non-English speakers

This is a great book for a better understanding of the language and improving writing skills. The best option in the market now.

Very Useful

I think this dictionary is useful for one to whom English is as a second language. It contains wealthy information on how to combine words well.

Very helpful

I am in a written translation course and this book has been very helpful when translating from Spanish into English.

This is a gem!

As a librarian, I have looked for a good dictionary of English collocations for years. Unfortunately, there are few titles available on OCLC and the Internet. Moreover they are either prohibitively expensive or not very helpful. Unlike all other dictionaries of this kind, however, Oxford Collocations Dictionary for Students of English is truly outstanding for its completeness of coverage, page layout, information on usage, and surprisingly low cost. I wish to say that in addition to its other great features, this dictionary does a great job of helping its readers improve writing. I believe my investment in this dictionary is an extremely rewarding one. My sincere thanks to Editor Diana Lea for this much-needed dictionary.
