Review: Best learner's dictionary available - 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. Review: highly recommended! - 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!

Best dictionary for second language speakers
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.

Kindle edition has many flaws.
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.

Dicionário de inglês
Eu achei que o dicionário é bastante [útil no aprendizado da lÃngua 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.

Forget the rest, this is the best
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
