I used the Collier's, The Little Oxford, Oxford Difficult words, Oxford Universal English Gujarati Dictionary & yeah, lot more in my Library, but this one is oh so User friendly especially for the Learners of English. This new Dictionary has clear simple definitions using core vocabulary, use in words, notes explaining difficulties and showing links and contrasts between words. The pictorial illustrations are easier for grasping and the Study pages are just excellent which covers various topics for eg.1. Vocabulary pages covering Education, govt., environment, family, health & fitness, etc.2. Study notes with word formation, punctuation, letter writing, phrasal verbs, etc.This makes a powerful Learning & handy with confusing words and easy made sentences showing the meaning of the word thereof.A sure pick for the shelf.

Excellent

I am a Mexican student who has been studying English for 16 years. This dictionary is wonderful as it has a detailed explanation on each word and how to use it. It also tells you whether the word is in British or American English which is, I think, very helpful mostly to foreign students like me :)

Good dictionary

It is a good dictionary for oversea students
